Hi,
Ok but this basically sucks. I'm sure I should be installing from ports. But I don't seem to be able to do that, and I do know how to install source files.
You're not installing from ports. To install from ports da as I said before: cd into /usr/ports/mail/ and then run "make; make install clean"
radius# pkg_add -r mimedefang.tar.gz Error: FTP Unable to get ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-4 -stable/Latest/mimedefang.tar.gz.tgz: File unavailable (e.g., file not found, no access) pkg_add: unable to fetch `ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages- 4-stable/Latest/mimedefang.tar.gz.tgz' by URL
pkg_add works with binary packages (like RPMs). Packages have a ".tgz" extension.
So I moved the tarball over to /usr/ports/distfiles, extracted it and ran make. That resulted in:
radius# more distinfo MD5 (mimedefang-2.51.tar.gz) = 9c4df4ec349e414f893c940ff563bea5 SIZE (mimedefang-2.51.tar.gz) = 302006 radius# make "Makefile", line 53: Malformed conditional (${PERL_LEVEL} < 500601) "Makefile", line 53: Need an operator "Makefile", line 55: if-less endif "Makefile", line 55: Need an operator make: fatal errors encountered -- cannot continue
You're doing 2 things wrong: 1) you're runing a BSD make against a GNU Makefile. 2) you're not using the ports. Do as I said above and you'll have
mimedefang installed in no time.
