What The Blazing Funk Is WRONG With Gmake?

[Mark76]

I've been trying to install Pidgin from /usr/ports/net-im and each time it fails with the following errors

glob.c:1318: error: 'DIR' undeclared (first use in this function)
glob.c:1318: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
glob.c:1318: error: for each function it appears in.)
glob.c:1318: error: expected expression before ')' token
glob.c:1318: warning: pointer/integer type mismatch in conditional expression
glob.c:1321: error: dereferencing pointer to incomplete type
glob.c:1332: error: dereferencing pointer to incomplete type
glob.c:1338: error: dereferencing pointer to incomplete type
glob.c:1360: warning: incompatible implicit declaration of built-in function 'strlen'
glob.c:1403: error: expected expression before ')' token
glob.c:1415: error: expected expression before ')' token
*** Error code 1

Why?

Stop in /usr/ports/devel/gmake/work/make-3.82/glob.
*** Error code 1

Stop in /usr/ports/devel/gmake/work/make-3.82.
*** Error code 1

And when I try to install gmake

/usr/ports/devel/gmake# make install clean

that's weird -- i just built gmake in Ports Jail without any problems. did you use a jail? i wonder if there's a system-level conflict with pmake - although that seems a little strange. hopefully one of the devs can provide more information.

re Pidgin -- is there a reason you want to build from ports? AppCafe has v2.1.0.1 available....
