Probably because syslog-ng relies upon pkgconfig, but assumes it will be installed by one of the dependent ports so doesn't explicitly declare the dependency. Poudriere has a habit of only installing the immediate dependencies of the package it is currently compiling, so exposes such issues when a port is updated, but none of its dependencies are. Bug ports/181098 is another I found like this. Add this to the port's Makefile after the include of bsd.port.options.mk: USES+= pkgconfig If that corrects the issue you're seeing, submit a pr. -- Fuzzy love, -CyberLeo Technical Administrator CyberLeo.Net Webhosting http://www.CyberLeo.Net <cyber...@cyberleo.net> Furry Peace! - http://www.fur.com/peace/ _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
