flex from ports kills buildworld?
Probably doing something stupid, but on the off chance I'm not: - Had to install a newer flex from ports for something. - Had to move the system flex to avoid hacking reams of bad makefiles - Did a buildworld, and it can't find a flex - Seems to me, buildworld should be able to use a newer flex, and should be able to use the one from /usr/local instead of /sbin Thanks, Steve [st...@dynstant /usr/src]$ sudo make buildworld ... flex -ogengtype-lex.c /usr/src/gnu/usr.bin/cc/cc_tools/../../../../contrib/gcc/gengtype-lex.l flex:No such file or directory *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/src/gnu/usr.bin/cc/cc_tools. *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/src. *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/src. *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/src.

It is possible that PATH for the build environment does not contain /usr/local/bin probably in order to have a controlled build environment. Why don't you temporarily do: ln -s /usr/local/bin/flex /usr/bin/flex and see if that works. ___ 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"

That's what should be used by the buildworld step. It may also be a good idea to start with `sudo -i' and *then* run the buildworld commands in the root shell, instead of `sudo command'. ___ 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"
