I attempted to build the lang/erlang port on a FreeBSD 5.2.1-RELEASE machine, but it failed, giving linking errors to do with threading libraries. The problem was resolved by defining WITHOUT_ODBC for the port; this is already detected and automatically disabled for OSVERSION < 500000; but, evidently, this test is too narrow. Fix: Change relevant test to: .if ${OSVERSION} < 502010 WITHOUT_ODBC= yes .endif Unless anyone knows the exact version where the problem is resolved. How-To-Repeat: Build lang/erlang on a (horribly out of date) 5.2.1 machine.
Responsible Changed From-To: freebsd-ports-bugs->olgeni Over to maintainer
State Changed From-To: open->closed The port was fixed using OSVERSION < 502102 (new threading libraries.)
