ports

Hello everyone, I'm a noobie to BSD systems and got some problems with installing tor and virtualbox-ose from ports. My system is 11.1-RELEASE. cd /usr/ports/security/tor (or simular with virtualbox) make install clean ... configure: error: perl 5.8 required ===> Script "configure" failed...

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...

I see DTrace Probes offered as a compile-time option/flag on many ports, and it's selected by default on the very vast majority of the ports for which it's available... As far as I can understand, though, DTrace Probes is just a debugging facility... I never programmed enough to really get...

Hi, Couple of questions about portmaster. Given that the documentation and some tools related to the "ports" system regard programs installed from binary package repository as "ports", does that mean: 1. We can use tools like portmaster to manage everything, regardless of the way it was...

Hello, I have an issue when I do this command: # rm -rf /var/db/portsnap/* # portsnap fetch Looking up portsnap.FreeBSD.org mirrors... none found. Fetching public key from portsnap.FreeBSD.org... done. Fetching snapshot tag from portsnap.FreeBSD.org... done. Fetching snapshot metadata... done...

Hello I did a make config-recursive on remmina which configured a ton of dependencies but doing a make rmconfig only removes config from the top level remmina port not the dependencies. I know this because after doing a rmconfig when I redo make config-recursive, I am ONLY prompted for the...

Hi gang! Introduction (editorial section) Every once in a while we see new(er) users who get utterly confused with the whole ports collection and the package management system and as a result they're often having a hard time trying to understand how this whole thing actually works. Now, I...

Hi all, Does anyone know if there is a shorthand form I can use in scripts to fetch the latest quarterly ports tree using svn? For packages, EG in /etc/pkg/FreeBSD.conf, there is this: url: "pkg+http://pkg.FreeBSD.org/${ABI}/quarterly Which always downloads packages from the newest / latest...

Hi, I'm after a move and tried to upgrade FreeBSD binaries and some ports. But freebsd-version is 11.1-RELEASE and binaries updated while ports are much newer. I have got 65 lines from pkg version -l '<', for example perl5-5.24.1_1. And here is my proble, I cannot compile...

I am using ports-mgmt/poudriere to compile packages with just the options I need. These are then exported via a webserver for FreeBSD clients to download. One of the packages I build is lang/php71 (with lang/php71-extensions and lang/mod_php71). Now I also want to build lang/php70, because some...

Hi gang! Editorial: I've been using ports-mgmt/portmaster for a long time already and I figured it could use a little bit of extra love and attention ;) Also because there is a lot which Portmaster can do, so I'm hoping that briefly showcasing some of those features might be helpful for some...

I've just started using poudriere, and it's awesome; I'm blown away by how easy it makes things. But I'm running into one puzzle I can't figure out. I created the list of files to give poudriere bulk -f with portmaster --list-origins, on a system with php 7.1 installed, so there are a couple...

Setting: FreeBSD 11.0 RELEASE I have binary packages installed using pkg. Works great and fine in itself. I have installed from source some ports as the options used in the binary version was not what I needed. Works great and fine in itself. Mixing both as such works as advertised, but I'm...

Is it still bad practice to update installed ports with Portmaster -a or -af? In this 15799 user "phoenix" says, that Is this information still valid? The FreeBSD handbook recommends just to use: portmaster -a and if that fails, then: portmaster -af

Exactly what the title says. How do binary packages for FreeBSD get built and posted to pkg.freebsd.org? My question specifically concerns graphics/php56-gd, which has compile-time switches to enable or disable XPM and t1lib support. Enabling these two options pulls in a whole bunch of X11...

I'm trying to do a 10.3 to 11.0 upgrade. (It didn't work, so I did a restore, but that is the subject for another post after my second attempt.) In the process of doing the upgrade, the notes indicate that you should recompile programs that you installed from ports (i.e. source). Three...

Hello, I have installed a Gitlab instance on FreeBSD 10.3-RELEASE through the ports tree. While basic features are functional, there are a few errors which I am unable to resolve. I have searched online regarding the various issues but I have not been able to find any solutions. I have...

When using make install clean this will clean up the workdir of the port and its dependencies, once everything is installed. Is there a way to do that after each individual port as well? So that once it is installed the workdir will be cleaned, before moving on to the next one? Maybe via some...

Like me, you might be struggling a lot with sound, ever since pulseaudio came up. However, there actually is an alternative that sparked out of the OpenBSD community. It's a light weight and just works. Sadly it isn't what applications use per default, so one is currently forced to use ports...

Hi everyone, After some of the system upgrades (I'm using synth) SMB gfvs functionality in x11-fm/pcmanfm stopped working. At the closer look I've noticed that devel/gvfs still depends on (and installs) net/samba-libsmbclient which the ports system now says is obsoleted: Port...
