  • What is a FLAVOR and how to unbreak ports?

    Hi,

    Updating a laptop that had a year old FreeBSD on it
    to top-of-tree.

    % portmaster -Byd --force-config sqlite3 |& tee sgk.log
    ...
    ^c
    % more sgk.log
    <esc>0;portmaster: sqlite3-3.3.53.3,1<bel>
    Curently installed version: sqlite3-3.3.53.3,1
    Port directory: /usr/ports/databases/sqlite3@default

    Gathering distinfo list for installed ports

    Launching 'make checksum' for databases/sqlite3@default in background ...
    make: /usr/ports/devel/libclc/Makefile:52: Comparison with ">="
    requires both operands "default" and "15" to be numeric in .for
    loop from /usr/ports/devel/libclc/Makefile:51 with i = 15.
    ...
    make: /usr/ports/devel/libclc/Makefile:52: Comparison with ">="
    requires both operands "default" and "22" to be numeric in .for
    loop from /usr/ports/devel/libclc/Makefile:51 with i = 22.
    make: Fatal errors encountered -- cannot continue

    Okay, let's simply go into libclc and rebuild it.

    % cd /usr/ports/devel/libclc
    % make clean
    Cleaning for libclc-llvm15-15.0.7
    ...
    Cleaning for libclc-llvm22-22.1.5
    % make
    libclc-llvm15-15.0.7 is marked as broken on FreeBSD 16.0: Base
    libc++ is now to fresh for Clang 15 to compile.
    *** Error code 1
    make: stopped making all in /usr/ports/devel/libclc

    I detect a wee bit of over engineering. So, How do I unbreak ports?

    Try updating libclc first using portmaster or plain make.
    Figure out what flavor you need by looking at the installed package's name
    pkg info -x libclc
    If going the plain make route, append FLAVOR=llvmXY to make invocation.

    Yeah, I read the porter's documentation. I could not find where
    it mentions a comprehensive list of the FLAVORs. There is no
    discussion of how one can query for the list of FLAVORs.

    You will get the list for any port:

    cd /usr/ports/$category/$port && make -V FLAVORS
