G'day, folks, As-is, and since a good while back (months? ever?), devel/aarch64-none-elf-binutils duplicates the origin of devel/binutils so that e. g. portupgrade complains just that. I. e., with portupgrade, build and install work exactly once but never thereafter until I remove devel/aarch64-none-elf-binutils to start anew. I gather, though, that multiple *binutils ports should be present if one wanted to cross-build for another architecture (as I did for my RPI48GB. Btw., thanks for that!). Without too much recent knowledge of ports, I naively tried to move the build directory to have a distinct orgin ... 8c8 < MMASTERDIR= ${.CURDIR}/../binutils --- > MASTERDIR= ${.CURDIR}/../binutils 10c10 < .include "${MMASTERDIR}/Makefile" --- > .include "${MASTERDIR}/Makefile" ... and symlinked some of the ports files to see what happens ... ( cd /usr/ports/devel/aarch64-none-elf-binutils/ && ln -s ../binutils/pkg-descr . ) ( cd /usr/ports/devel/aarch64-none-elf-binutils/ && ln -s ../binutils/distinfo . ) ... (hoping for the pkg-plist present in devel/aarch64-none-elf-binutils to be the correct one) but this eventually fails creating a package. Comparing with other ports (www/nginx*, to be more specific), I currently guess that the MASTERDIR mechanism was inherited with _alternative_ ports in mind (or changed such at some stage) which would be different here -- but the Ports Makefile magic beats me today. So, until I learn more, here's my request to The Knowing for a glance, some help, and maybe a fix. Thanks a lot, and All the best, Peter. --- [1] Possibly related (???): https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=250035
