BUG: Fortune will not compile; missing regex.h

[sigint@…]

I applied the patch supplied in Bug #3010, and got fortune to install.

When I run /opt/local/bin/nethack now, I get the following output (and no nethack):

/opt/local/bin/nethack: line 51: cd: /opt/local/var/db/dports/build/file._opt_local_var_db_dports_sources_rsync.rsync.opendarwin.org_dpupdate_dports_games_nethack/work/destroot/opt/local/share/nethackdir: No such file or directory

I made it work by manually hacking /opt/local/bin/nethack thusly:

I'm pretty sure the manual hacking I did on termcap.c didn't cause this, so I thought I'd post the problem/solution to make it googleable/reusable. If it's caused by my tinkering/stupidity, I'm sorry for spamming you.

What's the link with fortune????

The link is that I copied the wrong bug report in. Sorry. I'll fix it.

1. The dune quotes file no longer exists on the next; it's been removed from the downloads, but not

the unzip/install part.

2. Fortune won't compile. Looks to be the same problem as libcompat -- no regex.h -- so #define

NO_REGEX 1 at the top of fortune.c, and it compiles. This is at the cost of being able to use -m to search for fortunes.

More detail if you need it.

Thanks,

Should probably switch over to ​http://www.redellipse.net/code/fortune, since the fortune port's original distfile has sort of disappeared off the face of the earth.

Fortune has been updated and it now installs ok for me. Run selfupdate and try again.
