Hey everyone,
I am back once again. I've reinstalled FreeBSD 13.0-RELEASE and am working on fixing the FBSD port of TDE as I go along with building it, recording everything that happens so that we may be able to end the weird snags that occur in it once and for all.
I ran into the usual problem with pinentry-tqt where it stops and says to set MAKE_JOBS_UNSAFE=yes and try again. I ran it once again with MAKE_JOBS_UNSAFE=yes and this time it stopped with different output and told me to run "aclocal", so I went into the pinentry-tqt work directory and did such. Now I went back to the big makefile where I was and started back. It made it much further and the output was different yet again, this time giving me more insight on what was going on. At this point I also found out you need to have the package 'texinfo' to avoid a "makeinfo not found" error.
It looks like the problem is caused by libgpg-error in some way. I used the script tool to record the terminal output and attached it to this email. libgpg-error on my system is version 1.42, which is higher than the minimum version of 1.16 it says is needed so I am dumbfounded.

You've got a sed failure just above the libgpg-error version check in the output. I'd bet that's the actual culprit: it can't find your installed version of the library because it's looking in the wrong place.

Huh, strangely, I just checked if gsed was installed and I have it. I then tried to build pinentry-tqt again and.. Voila! It installed. I don't really know what I did differently, although now I am in base TDE instead of icewm.
Last night I was so tired and frustrated with it that I finally gave up on trying to get some components to install and just tried to get into TDE full stop (It's still better than not being in it). Some things aren't installing that did on my first round of FreeBSD, such as tdegraphics. Once it gets to kghostview it gives a bunch of deprecated warnings and stops. It feels like some kind of new error arises every time I try to install all of the FBSD ports.

As I mentioned, there is a known problem that when pinentry-tqt is built within a whole (as subdir), it fails, while when it is built separately, it works fine.
Unfortunately I still don't know where the problem lies, so it is still not clear, "what to fix". It is just a fact that automake configuration is incorrectly performed. Maybe we can do a fundamental change and add CMake rules and instead of automake to build it with CMake...
Cheers
