Pardon me for being the queer one to ask this- but how does one
force/override building a port marked as broken?
I'm not about to run a make install clean on it, but I would like to at
least have a crack at trying to fix whats wrong. In this particular case
its involving a particular arch, and seeing as I have this arch I'd
reckon I'm an ideal candidate to try and help fix it :)
I poked around for a bit for an answer, but pretty much all the info is
on how to mark it as broken- not overriding it.
Edit it's 'Makefile'. Look for an assignment of the form:
.if ${MACHINE_ARCH} = "amd64"
BROKEN= This port fails to frobnicate foo on amd64.
.endif
Remove this assignment, build the port and try to debug its problems.
When you have a fix, run "make clean" in the port directory, save a copy
of the entire port subdirectory somewhere and email the person or team
listed in MAINTAINER with your fix.
I got that one. But what you have replied here has got my attention:
${MACHINE_ARCH} and ${ARCH} the same? I have ${ARCH} in this one.
.if ${ARCH} == "amd64"
I'm stupid now, but I will learn... :)
