Greeting- I am rebuilding now and will let everyone know if it works now that python is built with threads. I think that if the port needs python threads it should SAY SOMETHING. I spent a month on this before asking for help. Now maybe I should not have spent so much time, but the net is full of posts in various places about virtualbox not building, so I wanted to run down the already ASKED and ANSWERED before bothering people. I have seen other ports fail if a pre-req was not built according to the ports liking. I do not know how it is done, but I know it can be done. Thanks everyone and I will post my results when my build is done. -Brett _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-emulation To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
