Created attachment 156040 [details] This is the build log for webkit-gtk2 Attempting to update this port results in failure. The following is the ending error notice: CXXLD libWTF.la CXXLD Programs/LLIntOffsetsExtractor /usr/bin/ld:./.libs/libWTF.a: file format not recognized; treating as linker script /usr/bin/ld:./.libs/libWTF.a:1: syntax error c++: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation) GNUmakefile:40539: recipe for target 'Programs/LLIntOffsetsExtractor' failed gmake[1]: *** [Programs/LLIntOffsetsExtractor] Error 1 gmake[1]: Leaving directory '/usr/ports/www/webkit-gtk2/work/webkitgtk-2.4.8' *** Error code 1 Stop. make: stopped in /usr/ports/www/webkit-gtk2 The entire build log is attached.
Created attachment 156041 [details] This is the correct build log. Sorry, I attached the incorrect one before.
I can reproduce it if /usr/local/bin/ar from binutils is installed and found before /usr/bin/ar in $PATH.
(In reply to Kurt Jaeger from comment #2) Yes, this is a known problem. IMHO, it is one that should be corrected or at least have the correct path coded into the Makefile.
Is the problem still relevant, as www/webkit-gtk2 is now at 2.4.9 ?
This problem is already described in 195500 and possible solution is provided, so I'm closing this as a duplicate. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 195500 ***
