Best way to report a port problem?
The libiconv port doesn't build for me on arm (Beagle Bone Black).
So what is the preferred way to report the problem?
In case it helps clarify my question, this is what I see when I do a 'make install' in the libiconv port. This is from a pretty much virgin 5.7 install, with some other ports already built/installed. I'm using a port because there are not packages for this architecture and I've moved the ports tree and its build directories to nfs because the Beagle's disk is very slow (with appropriate edits to /etc/mk.conf), hence the slightly unusual paths. I'm not sure why it's reporting "weird modes" because /usr/local/lib/libiconv.la, etc. don't exist yet, which is kind of the point Code:
kandor:libiconv # make install `/asgard/ports/usr.obj.ports/libiconv-1.14/fake-armv7/.fake_done' is up to date. ===> Building package for libiconv-1.14p1 Create /asgard/ports/usr.packages/arm/all/libiconv-1.14p1.tgz Error: weird mode for /usr/local/lib/libcharset.so.1.1: 0 Error: modes don't match for /usr/local/lib/libcharset.so.1.1 Error: weird mode for /usr/local/lib/libiconv.so.6.0: 0 Error: modes don't match for /usr/local/lib/libiconv.so.6.0 Error: weird mode for /usr/local/include/iconv.h: 0 Error: modes don't match for /usr/local/include/iconv.h Error: weird mode for /usr/local/include/libcharset.h: 0 Error: modes don't match for /usr/local/include/libcharset.h Error: weird mode for /usr/local/include/localcharset.h: 0 Error: modes don't match for /usr/local/include/localcharset.h Error: weird mode for /usr/local/lib/libcharset.a: 0 Error: modes don't match for /usr/local/lib/libcharset.a Error: weird mode for /usr/local/lib/libcharset.la: 0 Error: modes don't match for /usr/local/lib/libcharset.la Error: weird mode for /usr/local/lib/libiconv.a: 0 Error: modes don't match for /usr/local/lib/libiconv.a Error: weird mode for /usr/local/lib/libiconv.la: 0 Error: modes don't match for /usr/local/lib/libiconv.la *** Error 1 in .

I would recommend communicating with the maintainer first. Contact is not hard to find; look at the contents of the Makefile:
http://cvsweb.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/cv...?annotate=1.49 Brad may or may not have the hardware available in which case he may have suggestions for where to go next. My guess would be to post to the arm@ list, but let Brad make that decision -- if needed. sendbug(1) & the bugs@ mailing list are more for base system issues. For the record, I find no mention of a ports-bugs@ mailing list. All inquiries regarding ports should be sent to ports@. Good luck. Last edited by ocicat; 13th June 2015 at 03:43 PM. Reason: add comment about bugs@ & sendbug(1)... |

Looking at the problem itself, it's not clear to me what is happening at this packaging step. The Port Testing Guide recommends a port-lib-depends-check between fake and package targets, so you might give that a try. It's also possible that the plist target could be used to revise the PLIST, in the event there's something borked with it. If none of these indicate a root cause, you might consider disabling SEPARATE_BUILD in the Makefile, just to see if that's the cause of the problem.
For support, I'd start with the $MAINTAINER. In this case, its Brad Smith. His Email address can be found with $ make show=MAINTAINER . He's been very responsive when I've had questions about some of his other ports. If you don't hear back, then you can post to ports@ to see if you can obtain help from other ports developers who might have the same architecture.
