Possible issue building kernel modules: dialog4ports invocation
This morning, my laptop & build machine (daily) source-based updates
for stable/11 were uneventful, but the (weekly) update to my desktop
at work died (temporarily) during an attempt to build a kernel
module (because I have
PORTS_MODULES=x11/nvidia-driver
in etcsrc.conf):
...
--- kernel.full ---
linking kernel.full
ctfmerge -L VERSION -g -o kernel.full ...
text data bss dec hex filename
22011101 1257388 4963232 28231721 0x1aec829 kernel.full
--- kernel.debug ---
objcopy --only-keep-debug kernel.full kernel.debug
--- kernel ---
objcopy --strip-debug --add-gnu-debuglink=kernel.debug kernel.full kernel
--- all ---
===> Ports module x11/nvidia-driver (all)
cd ${PORTSDIR:-/usr/ports}/x11/nvidia-driver; env -u CC -u CXX -u CPP PATH=/

*** [all] Stopped -- signal 22
....
Running "ps" showed that a few processes (including dialog4ports)
had received SIGSTOP; sending them a SIGCONT wasn't helpful (as in
"didn't seem to cause the processes to resume execution").
I finally did circumvent the issue by (separately) running "portmaster
x11/nvidia-driver", which brought up the dialog4ports menu Just Fine,
then built & installed the port.
After having done that, build kernel (including updating the
x11/nvidia-driver module again), install kernel, install world (as
well as mergemaster &c.) all worked.
In case it's relevant, I ran the build within script(1), running
in a tmux(1) session.
Peace,
david
