Hi,

I had a problem with the toolchain (deleted the old entirely) so tried to build it again via https://arosnews....osted-wsl/ and get an error when it tries to access ftp.vim.org. Google AI says "The ftp.vim.org address will not be restored as an FTP server; the FTP mirror has been retired as the primary source for Vim files with the v9.1 release." There appears to be alternate locations where these files can be downloaded other than ftp.vim.org. If I were to download and compile them manually where should I place them in the toolchain? For example, I was able to find mpc-1.3.1.tar.gz elsewhere so should be able to compile it and place it where? Or is this now an obsolete method and I should just wait until the installation routine is updated? What a bummer, I was getting close too.

If you used the rebuild.sh script you should have a portssources directory next to the build directories. Put the archive in there and it will be built.

Thanks, I'll run the script, see what files it fails to download, find them elsewhere, rinse, and repeat until I've got them all. Hopefully that will work.

I checked contrib repo and vim.org is a backup site for two packages: libogg and diffutils, however it's not the primary site but a backup. It's possible that there were some temporary internet issues preventing you to download from primary download sites.

What is written in #2 is correct. If you for some reason can't download the package automatically during build, download it manually and place it in portssources directory.

Thanks guys,

For some reason FreeType was an issue yesterday too but simply downloading from other places and placing them in portsources directly worked easily and perfectly. Thanks so much; I'm up and running! Success compiling sqlite 3.34.0.a for 64bit too!
