Re: Problems with vvv port on FreeBSD
I simply untarred his port directory into my /usr/ports/mail/ dir and tried a make. On Linux, all I had to do was drop the spec file into the SPEC dir and rpm -ba mutt.spec. I haven't checked the port setup because I am still new to FreeBSD and am not quite familiar with the details therin. Notice that the vvv distribution directory has several patches? He is also kind enough to provide a mutt.spec file for building rpms and a port.1.3.19.tgz file, which is typically unzipped into the mail port directory and built for install - FreeBSDs version of package management for those Linux only dudes out there. It basically creates a package on the fly and installs it. Pretty clean as far as I can tell so far. Anyway, I am getting some problems in the regex.c file. something about 'wt' being undeclared, and undeclared functions wctype - which is actually a typedef in an included file, etc. Anyway again, here is the real confusion: this file is not changed by the patches! I built mutt-devel (distributed version of 1.3.19) and compared the regex.c files - no difference. Hmm. I also noticed the makefile in the port directory was configuring --with-regex. Maybe that is my problem. I'll try bagging that config directive. At this point, any suggestions would be quite welcome. As long as they are intended to help me get this build done anyway :) Thanks all Lou On 07/18/01 09:37 AM, Suresh Ramasubramanian sat at the `puter and typed: Louis LeBlanc [mutt-users] 17/07/01 23:51 -0400: Hey all.

Re: Problems with vvv port on FreeBSD
WITH_VVV_PATCHES??? what rev do you have of the mutt-devel port? I just updated yesterday, I have 1.3.19 rev 4. I didn't find that tag anywhere in the Makefile. BTW, my recent response was on target. I removed --with-regexp from the vvv Makefile and it build out nicely.
