Created attachment 211131 [details] /usr/ports/mail/claws-mail/work/claws-mail-3.17.4/config.log This might be a stupid issue: I can't build claws-mail from ports on FreeBSD 12.1-RELEASE-p1 GENERIC amd64 (I can install claws-mail from pkg, though). make does not seem to find gtk (although gtk2-2.24.32 installed), and then complains about not finding a number of packages, the first one being "no Package 'xproto', required by 'x11', not found..." I tried on two different FreeBSD 12.1-RELEASE-p1 GENERIC amd64 machines - on both make fails in a very similar way.
First idea: What you have in /etc/make.conf ? (if exists) Second: Could it have something to do with: /usr/ports/UPDATING 20180731: AFFECTS: users of x11/xorg and all ports with USE_XORG=*proto AUTHOR: zeising@FreeBSD.org The xorg *proto packages have all been merged into one package, x11/xorgproto. This might cause issues with upgrading. If you get conflicts between xorgproto and old *proto packages, please remove the old package and install xorgproto again. In order to remove all orphaned ports, including all *proto port, the following can be used after the ports tree has been updated: pkg version -l \? | cut -f 1 -w | grep -v compat | xargs pkg delete -fy
(In reply to Walter Schwarzenfeld from comment #1) /etc/make.conf does not exist here. I find no orphaned ports, in particular nothing like *proto I have installed successfully a number of packages from ports. It always went smoothly. claws-mail seems to be the first challenge :-/ I must say that I find the line checking for GTK... no strange. GTK should be installed.
i think, this is not a claws-mail problem directly. Better to give this PR to x11
Add x11 to CC list.
(In reply to Walter Schwarzenfeld from comment #1) My silly mistake, actually. I force-reinstalled xorgproto, and now I can compile claws-mail. Thank you for the hint and, please, accept my apologies :-)
