Hello,
I have inherited an old FreeBSD 5.1 machine(5.1-RELEASE-p18). I realize
that the short answer to my question is more than likely to upgrade the
OS to a current release and I would if I had that option right now, but I
do not. I needed to upgrade the perl/openssh/openssl implementation on
this box. My first thought was to use the port on the machine that was
from that era but make fails. So then I thought to csup the ports tree
and try with a new version, that fails as well. The error is as follows:
make config
"/usr/ports/Mk/bsd.port.mk", line 1780: warning: String comparison
operator should be either == or !=
"/usr/ports/Mk/bsd.port.mk", line 1780: Malformed conditional
((${OSVERSION} >= 700007 || ${OSVERSION} < 700000))
"/usr/ports/Mk/bsd.port.mk", line 1780: Missing dependency operator
"/usr/ports/Mk/bsd.port.mk", line 6276: if-less endif
"/usr/ports/Mk/bsd.port.mk", line 6276: Need an operator
make: fatal errors encountered -- cannot continue
This is because bsd.port.mk now uses constructs that are not supported by
the `/usr/bin/make' binary of 5.X.
If you *really* have to stick with 5.1-RELEASE-p18, it may be worth trying
to compile a newer snapshot of `src/usr.bin/make' from 7-STABLE and install
it as say `/usr/bin/make-7.x'. Then you can try building ports from a
more recent `/usr/ports' tree with *that* make binary:
# cd /usr/ports/CATEGORY/APP
# make-7.x config
Most of the `ports/' makefile glue should use ${MAKE} to invoke child
instances of the make utility, and with a custom `make-7.x' binary this
should default to the correct version of `/usr/bin/make-7.x'.
This is a bit of a "hack" though, so if it fails in other ways, you will
have to weigh the two options: (1) staying with 5.1 and trying to build
ports with a custom `make-7.x' binary, possibly investing a lot of time to
fix `ports/Mk/bsd.*.mk' problems as they come up, and (2) updating the base
system to a more recent FreeBSD release.
