It was something like BUILD_FAILED. Sorry, my bad for not saving the exact message. It sounds like it may have just been my environment and if it’s not critical then I can live without it. If no one else is complaining then I wouldn’t waste time looking into it. If I have time later I will try to rebuild and reproduce the error, it just takes an hour to build so can’t do it right now.

To resolve the issue I built a custom-overlay port and removed FreeXL from the build and then everything built great. I tried to just build FreeXL using VCPKG and that failed so I was wondering if it’s just my machine that is messed up or are others having issues as well? By removing FreeXL will I be crippling any other drivers that may depend on it? I looked at the docs and it didn’t seem that important? Also, is there a way to specify what drivers not to build without doing a custom-overlay port?</span></span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='text-autospace:none'><span style='font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Segoe UI",sans-serif;color:black'> </span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt'>Best regards,</span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;color:black'>Martin Chapman</span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Aptos",sans-serif;mso-ligatures:none'><br><br><o:p></o:p></span></p><pre>_______________________________________________<o:p></o:p></pre><pre>gdal-dev mailing list<o:p></o:p></pre><pre><a href="mailto:gdal-dev@lists.osgeo.org">gdal-dev@lists.osgeo.org</a><o:p></o:p></pre><pre><a href="https://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/gdal-dev">https://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/gdal-dev</a><o:p></o:p></pre></blockquote><pre>-- <o:p></o:p></pre><pre><a href="http://www.spatialys.com">http://www.spatialys.com</a><o:p></o:p></pre><pre>My software is free, but my time generally not.<o:p></o:p></pre></div></body></html>
