While it is surely possible to figure out the problem and solve it,
this may involve some significant diagnosis and surgery on your part,
and it will probably be easier for you to just update to a version
where you know that the software is buildable.

You just install as you always would, e.g. by downloading a CD image.
If you don't want to have to reconfigure your system (e.g. /etc, etc)
then you use the 'upgrade' facility of sysinstall.  All of this is
documented in the installation instructions distributed with the
release, and on the website.

Yes.

I had thought that at first, but felt is was the 
"windows" copout to install a brand new version
instead of figuring out the error message.

I want to install (not upgrade) a new version
on my 5.1 box.  Couldn't find pointers for
installing (not upgrading) from an existing 
freebsd box.

Also, is 5.4 the most recent release ?

FYI, 5.1 is very old and long out of support.  You should update to a
modern release of FreeBSD if you want your port builds (and FreeBSD
itself) to work smoothly.

gcc34 build error on Freebsd 5.1

2005-07-25 Thread Darryl Hoar
Greetings,
I have 5.1 running on my machine.  I installed cvsup
and upgraded my ports with it.  I then went into
/usr/ports/databases/firebird-client and did a make install.

Of course it installed several other dependencies when
I did that.  One thing is was trying to build/install was
gcc34.  The following error was generated and the
entire process came to a halt.

../.././..//gcc-3.4-20050719/libiberty/fibheap.c:395: warning: implicit
declaration of function `memset'
gmake[2]: *** [fibheap.o] Error 1
gmake[2]: Leaving directory
`/usr/ports/lang/gcc34/work/build/i386-portbld-freebsd5.1/libiberty'
gmake[1]: *** [all-target-libiberty] Error 2
gmake[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/ports/lang/gcc34/work/build'
gmake: *** [bootstrap-lean] Error 2
*** Error code 2

Stop in /usr/ports/lang/gcc34.
*** Error code 1

I google'd and searched the freebsd website/mailing list,
FAQ, but didn't find an answer to this problem.

Anybody have an pointers/help so I can get on with the install ?

thanks in advance,

Darryl
