Probably not the right place to ask, but am trying to start upgrading my
ports junque. Gnome bombs out in the controlcenter... I assume there is
a sequence to doing the build of gnome, but "core" and "build" both
bomb out when trying to build controlcenter. Problem appears to be
structure related, with a missing member.

Can anybody provide any clues?

Thanks..

Sam

It's been my experience when upgrading Gnome, all of the Gnome ports
and most of the bits and pieces that Gnome relies upon to build, e.g.
bonobo, ORBit, glib, gtk, etc., need to be current. I've had the best
results deinstalling all of Gnome and the bits and pieces it relies on
then installing the gnome meta-port, allowing it to drag in whatever it
depends upon.

Maybe if you send the output of the build. Of course, this would be best
continued on freebsd-gnome.

One thing I might also suggest is to do:

pkg_delete -r ORBit-<version>

e.g.

pkg_delete -r ORBit-0.5.10

(whatever version of ORBit you have installed), then:

cd /usr/ports/x11/gnome
make all install

In the future, portupgrade _should_ work with Gnome, but sometimes certain
pieces (like ORBit) change, and require you to rebuild all of Gnome :-(.

If you still have problems after the uninstall/reinstall, pick this topic
up on freebsd-gnome@.
