I'm trying to install x11 and kde.
uname -a
FreeBSD huey.localhost 4.8-STABLE FreeBSD 4.8-STABLE #0: Mon Jul 14 07:55:43 PDT
2003 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/HUEY i386
background:
The system was loaded via CD as a 4.6-release, and then was successfully cvsup'd
and make/install world/kernel to 4.8-stable via ftp.
I first tried using /stand/sysinstall to install the ports, but decided to try
cvsup after it couldn't find the distribution tree. I've tried variations of
4.8-stable in the options area without success.
then, I used pkg_add -r /usr/ports/x11/kde (and a few other packages) #I know pkg_add to be a mistake now. That's not how to do it =(
then: cvsup -g -L 2 ports-supfile #generic ports-supfile with different mirror I think the new source has been loaded.
got some error 1 codes where error message suggested to 'make deinstall' 'make
reinstall', so did the following:
cd /usr/ports make clean make deinstall #all seemed to work without errors
next did: cd /usr/ports/x11/XFree86-4 make reinstall
after about 5 minutes of compiling, am getting a series of '*** Error code 1'
apparently starting with:
/usr/libexec/ld-elf.so.1: /usr/X11R6/lib/libfontconfig.so.1: Undefined symbol
"FT_Get_PS_Font_Info"
*** Error code 1
questions:
Is there a way to fix this without having to resort to installing ports from
scratch?
If not, how can I get a clean ports to work? Just cd /usr/ports, rm -r *, then
cvsup ports-file again, or ?
Here's what seems to work (in case anyone else is interested).
I went into the dir that contains installed packages and deleted the packages
cd /var/db/pkg pkg_delete *
then downloaded cvsup-without-gui and updated port sources with cvsup, then:
cd /usr/ports/x11/XFree86-4 make make install
so far, it seems to be working.... It may take a day or so to know for certain...
cheers
