A bit more background on my ports building adventure. I have one system I am using as a master ports system. It exports the ports tree via nfs. The system I am attempting to build on has the ports tree rw nfs mounted, and rw null mounted into a jail I am attempting to build up (using ezjail to create the jails and the nullfs ports "trick" to mount the base system /usr/ports - an nfs mount - into the jail). The 0 length perl Makefiles affected both the base (nfs mounted) and jailed (null mounted) systems. I went back to the exporting exporting and did a portsnap to bring the system ports tree up to date - still the issue persisted. So I built perl on the ports exporting system and suddenly the nfs mounting system could successfully build and installed. The jail with the nullfs mounted /usr/ports still gets 0 length makefiles. My temporary solution is to nfs mount the /usr/ports into the jail from the base system as well. I am cc'ing this to current for information and more eyes :) -- Tony Holmes Ph: (416) 993-1219 Founder and Senior Systems Architect Crosswinds Internet Communications Inc.Received on Tue Jul 24 2007 - 10:54:28 UTC
