build

I am trying to build Freebsd repo in a sambashare on linux. I keep on failing on https://github.com/freebsd/freebsd-src/blob/main/contrib/bmake/unit-tests/objdir-writable.mk . The error output consists of...

For reference https://forums.freebsd.org/threads/electron-for-freebsd.64103/ devel/electron28 is deprecated, will expire at the end of this month. devel/electron29 alone is packaged by the FreeBSD Project. Ports that require devel/electron30 include: editors/vscode – Code - OSS...

The fifth BETA build for the FreeBSD 14.0 release cycle is now available. ISO images for the amd64, i386, powerpc, powerpc64, powerpc64le, powerpcspe, armv7, aarch64, and riscv64 architectures are FreeBSD mirror sites. Continue reading.....

I have little experience with ports and I don't understand what I should do. I always have the option to install everything from source, though... I'm running FreeBSD 13.0-RELEASE on my main computer and also at a VPS. In the latter, the ports collection is not installed. net-im/Prosody...

Install sysutils/bastille and net/gitup on host through either ports or packages. For a nested display server to run or test from the jail, install x11-servers/xorg-nestserver or x11-servers/xephyr on the host system as well. Bastille jail in the example or instruction will be named "myjail"...

This is a continuation of a discussion that went off-topic. See also this post ff. Snurg & me then had a PM discussion (in german) on the topic, drop a note to get invited (PMs are not visible for other's), we can switch to english. We welcome any valuable feedback & ideas. Let's start to...

Hello. Let's say I want to check graphics/drm-fbsd12.0-kmod port to see if it is being build / going to be build for FreeBSD CURRENT-12.2. Where and how can I check that? P.S: As someone with Linux background I am fairly new to the Port system so please rather than posting a pkg-status link and...

Greetings to everyone. I am running FreeBSD 12.1-RELEASE-p8 on AMD64 Arch and UFS2 filesystem. And I wanted to use wine, but it seemed slower than before, maybe ten minutes to make a window appears as if something was wrong. So I uninstalled wine and tried to build it from...

Is it possible to get all necessary source code through svn by pulling lets say 11.4 and compiling and installing the FreeBSD on laptop? How much typically time is required for a clean build on source tree which typically involves all necessary packages? And how much size of repository source...

Hi all, TLDR; Is there a way to have make append arguments at the end of the final build command or at least after the object files? I am trying to statically link against a library using the build process (pardon my terminological mistakes). In my Makefile, I am doing this: LDFLAGS+=...

Hi, I'm trying to build PhantomJS on a shared host which uses FreeBSD 9.1, without an admin privilege. I followed this instruction and build failed when typing python build.py with the following error. Creating qmake... .........................Done. Running configuration tests... Turn on...

Hi, I have an 11.2-Release system with root on a 3-disk ZFS RAIDZ. I just did a buildworld, buildkernel, installkernel and after reboot with the new kernel it fails to start and says something like: Solaris: NOTICE: Cannot find the pool label for 'zroot' Mounting from zfs:zroot/ROOT/default...

Hello all! I've just installed FreeBSD 11.2-PRERELEASE, and I'm learning to use synth... So, after a portsnap fetch update, I am trying to build firefox 60.0.1 with sndio. Then I would do a simple "make config", enable sndio option and disable alsa, jack and pulseaudio. And, indeed, if I "make...

I'm trying to build math/octave in FreeBSD 11.1-RELEASE-p7. I don't need GUI, however, there is no config option to skip it. Why? The building process depends on TeX files, which means I have to install at least 1GB (up to 3GB!) of unneeded stuff. I tried Octave binary package first, but...

I've got a small project for which I'd like to build a custom LOCALE, identical to my usual one but with a non-standard character set order. The modified order would be very minor - putting about 3 7-bit characters in a different position within the sort order (for both ascii + Unicode purposes)...

Hi there, I created a new jail via ezjail-admin, and attempted to build devel/llvm50 with the command below make -DBATCH WITH_DEBUG=yes install clean I left my laptop running all night and in the morning I saw the build failed at some stage. My base system (host that the jail is running on) is...

Hi all, I'd like to follow the quarterly package repository (because I value stability and reliability over new features), but I need to have a few packages compiled with custom options, and this results in a problem: Ports does not have a quarterly release, only a "rolling release" of sorts...

Hello everyone. After a long time spent with linux (we use it for development at work), I decided to go back and have a look at FreeBSD. I used to compile software using the ports collection. On the other side, I use gentoo linux and, as a developer and building everything from source in...

I am running 11.0-PRERELEASE and am attempting to upgrade to the latest revision of stable/11. When building world I get linker issues involving ZFS libraries. Some experimentation I have done indicates that the builder is actually trying to link to my own system's ZFS libraries. As a test I...

I am having trouble compiling an untouched copy of the Kernel (Generic). I started out by adding a few print lines (uprintf) to the /usr/src/sys/dev/usb/usb_hid.c. The idea is to see the program work thoroughly when attaching a usb hid device, but that's beside the point. However, when I try...
