Although tinderbox does not consider the error to be fatal, it's not currently possible to install sysutils/syslog-ng on 9.1-RELEASE because make stage fails: fun 157 # make install ===> Found saved configuration for syslog-ng-3.5.6_1 ===> syslog-ng-3.5.6_3 depends on file: /usr/local/sbin/pkg - found [...] ( cd '/home/fun/u2/src/FreeBSD-current/ports/sysutils/syslog-ng/work/stage/ usr/local/lib/syslog-ng/libtest' && ranlib libtest/libsyslog-ng-test.a ) ranlib: 'libtest/libsyslog-ng-test.a': No such file gmake[4]: *** [install-libtestLIBRARIES] Error 1 gmake[3]: *** [install-am] Error 2 gmake[2]: *** [install-recursive] Error 1 gmake[1]: *** [install] Error 2 gmake: *** [install-strip] Error 2 *** [do-install] Error code 2 Stop in /home/fun/u2/src/FreeBSD-current/ports/sysutils/syslog-ng. *** [stage] Error code 1 Stop in /home/fun/u2/src/FreeBSD-current/ports/sysutils/syslog-ng.

It builds successfully on redports and locally. I will confer with our upline, the author of syslog-ng and who supplied the port. This may only affect 9.1 and earlier. Have you tried syslog-ng-devel? It does not support 8.4 and I suspect it will not support 9.1. Our upline would like to hear about any issues with it as well.

Here are redports build logs for 10.0-RELEASE and 11-CURRENT that were successful with patch-Makefile.in removed: https://redports.org/~leres/20140901163733-40119-239884/syslog-ng-3.5.6_3.log https://redports.org/~leres/20140901163724-82120-239883/syslog-ng-3.5.6_3.log In particular, there is no error when ranlib is run on libsyslog-ng-test.a: ( cd '/work/a/ports/sysutils/syslog-ng/work/stage/usr/local/lib/syslog-ng/libtest' && ranlib libsyslog-ng-test.a ) /bin/mkdir -p '/work/a/ports/sysutils/syslog-ng/work/stage/usr/local/include/syslog-ng/libtest' There's clearly something different about our home build environments. Do you have a redports log that shows the ranlib error with the patch removed? What release are you running? The redports builds on 9.2-RELEASE, 10.0-RELEASE and 11-CURRENT I've done with the patch removed exactly mirror what I see on my 9.1-RELEASE system; ranlib runs successfully. Here's a redports log from a few weeks ago (3.5.5) with the patch intact that shows the error: https://redports.org/~leres/20140808004908-38165-231231/syslog-ng-3.5.5.log ( cd '/work/a/ports/sysutils/syslog-ng/work/stage/usr/local/lib/syslog-ng/libtest' && ranlib libtest/libsyslog-ng-test.a ) ranlib: warning: libtest/libsyslog-ng-test.a: no such file For whatever reason tinderbox does not consider the ranlib warning fatal. However when you build on a live system, make does consider it fatal and stops the build at that point. The archive is in work/stage/usr/local/lib/syslog-ng/libtest/libsyslog-ng-test.a on my systems and in the 3 most recent redports builds I've done. It looks like on your system it's in .../syslog-ng/libtest/libtest/libsyslog-ng-test.a -- I believe that is the key to why we're not seeing the same results.

Created attachment 148771 [details] example make output Example make output that shows the error.
This is still broken; see the attachment called trace.log. The problem is with files/patch-Makefile.in. It changes the relative file path used by ranlib. It's easy to see why it doesn't work; it does a cd to [...]/work/stage/usr/ local/lib/syslog-ng/libtest and then tries to ranlib libtest/libsyslog-ng-test.a. Since there is no directory [...]/work/stage/usr/ local/lib/syslog-ng/libtest/libtest/, ranlib fails, exits with a non-zero status and make exits without completing the build. As suggested before, removing this patch fixes the problem.
