Description John Nielsen 2002-07-16 06:10:01 UTC

      The XFree86-4-FontServer port expects to find Wraphelp.c in work/xc/lib/Xdmcp, but make-ing the port doesn't put it there and the build fails:

make: don't know how to make Wraphelp.c. Stop
*** Error code 2

Stop in /usr/ports/x11-servers/XFree86-4-FontServer/work/xc/lib.
*** Error code 1

Fix: 

Copy Wraphelp.c from distfiles/xc to work/xc/lib/Xdmcp (in post-extract).  Be sure that the port knows where to fetch it if it's not already there (it was already there on my system).
How-To-Repeat:       cd /usr/ports/x11-servers/XFree86-4-FontServer && make

I'm looking at this, trying to figure out how what I changed made it
fail (the old ports copied it some time during the beginning of the
build, wondering if any other build stuff was lost).

There is also another problem in regard to this matter:

XFree86-4-libraries/distinfo shows
MD5 (xc/Wraphelp.c) = IGNORE

I think this is a bad idea, because in my xc/ dir there was already a
Wraphelp.c, but it was broken and so it broke the build.
It seems that some distfiles mirrors contain this broken Wraphelp.c, so
it might be useful to put a MD5 sum there to ensure that the correct
file is used.

Just wanted to confirm that I experience the same problem on -stable as
of today. The proposed fix works too.

Cheers,
