Sounds like you need to update your cvsup first then.

"m3build not found"

My m3build came with the package "ezm3" (a modula compiler). My ports tree doesn't list this dependancy either. Seems to be a mistake. Does anybody know whom to contact about this?

@osilekPL79:
You can install / update ezm3 manually and try to build cvsup again. Or you can directly try the binary version of cvsup:
Code:
# pkg_install -r cvsup-without-gui

I suggest using the "without-gui" version to avoid conflics with your old X libs and other possible dependencies.

hth,
M.

My ports version contains the dependancy to ezm3. Weird that yours doesn't. As for contacting someone, do a make maintainer in any port dir and it'll tell you who to contact.

Exclamation The Solution!
I got it. And I was wrong about the mistake in the dependencies. To expain:
In the ports tree, ezm3 is listed as required for building, but not for running the installed program. I was checking the dependencies with pkg_info, where it doesn't require ezm3 (anymore) ...

I did "pkg_delete ezm3-1.1_1" and then tried to build the cvsup port. failed..

Solution:
Run "make clean" first.

Still, there seems to be some kind of bug. Shouldn't "make reinstall" detect the missing ezm3 without "make clean"?

M.
