cd /usr/ports/lang/clang33
make config

-> empty xterm or console.

I am encountering the exact same problem (with the devel/nasm port and several others, in fact I can't find a port where dialog4ports is working).  I am having this problem through an SSH connection from Terminal on OS X as well as the native console.

I should note that if you press the arrow down key you see the message:

===> Options unchanged

and dialog4ports exits.


Here are the steps I've tried to resolve the problem:

- Change TERM to: xterm, cons25, xterm-color, vt220, vt100 xterm-256color, xterm-old

- Rebuild dialog4ports from the newest sources available.

Also, I remember this working on 10.0-RELEASE.  I personally encountered the problem with 10.0-p5.  I can't say if any of the intervening patch releases have the same problem.

Hi, just update you ports tree, it should fix the problem.

Comment 3 Arnaud Bergeron 2014-06-19 13:44:41 UTC

I can confirm that the latest port tree fixes the problem for me.

Close this was not a dialog4ports bug and the issue has been fixed in the ports tree framework
