Hi:
I'm experiencing a weird error--neither fs_traverse or system "find .
blah" will consistently walk through _all_ of the directories in the
source of the port.
Background: for reasons unknown, I'm getting Makefiles that include
-L<blank> in the LIBS = line. There are 78 Makefiles and the
expedient thing to do is find them all and strip out the bad bits. I
ran the port configure step (this patching is done post-configure)
and it took MANY tries to finally get all 78 Makefiles searched and
patched. Many times, it was apparent that _some_ of the Makefiles
had been patched; but not all. I thought it was my inexperience with
tcl so I gave up on fs_traverse. Once or twice, it seemed "find .
-name "Makefile" -exec sed -i '' 's/ -L / /g' {} \;" _also_ stopped
midway but then it worked. I thought I'd found the magic formula.
Shortly after I achieved my first successful build of MythTV doing it
step by step. (Port fetch ... port install.) I wanted to start
fresh so I uninstalled and did a port clean then kicked off a port
install. The portfile and the debug log are linked below.

The find command then quit after finding 22 of the 78 Makefiles.
(Because of the problems I've been having, I print them out to the
log first and then patch them all.) Of course, linking then fell
over after receiving one of the blasted -L<blank>s that it hates so
much.
Is it possible that some of the Makefiles are still in use/open for
access when this command is running and that is causing fs_traverse
and/or find to silently give up the search? Or something else?
Should I do this step pre-build for some reason?
Any help gratefully accepted.
Craig
