The 'cannot open Makefile' with 'make test' is due to having MODCARGO_TEST = No in the Makefile. If you comment it, tests should build and run. As mentioned above all 1077 tests pass here on -current. There are some sqlcipher errors but they seem unrelated to specific tests and the package clearly works to decrypt. But make test fails to complete, _after_ the last test passes with 'ok'. That is why I disabled tests. Do you see the same with tests re-enabled? The following was only added for testing on -stable. Not needed on -current due to updates in cargo.port.mk. # Ensure system sqlcipher used on 7.9-release/-stable MODCARGO_ENV += LIBSQLITE3_SYS_USE_PKG_CONFIG=1 Regards, Chris
