At least a symlink to /usr/local/etc, and the post-install note. This brings up the qauestion of the Powers-that-Be creating symlinks to /etc/local (as a min) and /etc/X11R6. (Should *ANY* non-system GUI have its conf in /etc/X11R6/etc? ... [*mumble*]) gary No, and in fact it would be better if /usr/X11R6 were a hard link to /usr/local, but this never happened. The /usr/X11R6 came into life because of X IIRC and then got adapted by some X apps and then by gnome. So now we're stuck with two "3rd party software" trees/prefixes. I am hoping to get all GNOME stuff move in LOCALBASE someday when I have time. FreeBSD needs to remove one prefix either (LOCALBASE or X11BASE) to have a prefix. MPlayer doesn't need X. It can run just fine in an X-less environment. Same with SDL. Things that _require_ X live in /usr/X11R6. Except for KDE, which claims that they alone are interpreting hier(7) correctly and *every single other X app in the entire ports tree* is wrong. Also OOo, but those poor guys have enough to deal with without trying to force a nonstandard prefix. Personally, I'd love to see /usr/X11R6 folded into /usr/local, but until then, I think it's nothing short of retarded for apps to install into unusual locations to prove a point. # Adam -- Adam Weinberger [EMAIL PROTECTED] || [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED]|| [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.vectors.cx ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Any idea? Thanking you in advance In the FreeBSD ports tree, you have a couple options: o /usr/ports/mail/squirrelmail this requires IMAP, which is much better than POP3 anyhow. I use squirrelmail on my server. In fact, I'm writing this message through the squirrelmail interface right now. o /usr/ports/mail/openwebmail this is a great program with a fast, tiny interface. o /usr/ports/mail/imp3 imp is part of the Horde system. It's a very powerful, very full-featured mail system, which can use an IMAP backend. It's a bloated behemoth, but if you're looking for features, this one's great. A bitch to configure under certain circumstances. o /usr/ports/mail/omail omail requries qmail, and I thus haven't used it. However, people who have often swear by it. Poke around at the webpages for each app, and see which one you like best. # Adam [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message

information interchange.
On {Internet} the hostname is an {ASCII} string,

No. Only "fubar.org" is a domain name. The others are hostnames. A
domain name is just a name, but a hostname is a label applied to
something that exists. Every domain name can be a hostname if a computer
responds to that name.

Sounds like you're running an old version of make and/or ports/Mk files.
Update your ports-base package, and upgrade your version of FreeBSD.

Take 2 steps to the right, and then go about 40 steps back, and just put a
mime handler into your browser for audio/mpeg or audio/x-mpeg or
whatever. What you're trying to do is, well, impressive, but overkill.
Which browser are you using?

I really really really really hope not, else the fact that nobody has
exploited the local.exec("rm -R ~/") bug yet is a miracle ::) In
general, applets cannot exec or fork, just call other local applets,
unless I'm wrong. In which case the last sentence should be ignored.
> PS: There are many non-web ways of doing this, I realize... .
Sounds like you're just asking to make xmms open when you click on an
mp3 file. Easy enough through your browser's mime handlers, but we can
give you more specific advice for a more specific browser.

Maybe you should stop asking again, and follow the directions that multiple people have given you. *Everybody* who has replied to you has told you to get the ports-base collection from cvsup. Yet you still insist that everybody's solution is wrong, because you haven't tried it. Put less energy into fighting it, check out the ports-base collection, download individual ports to your heart's content, and be done with it. The /usr/ports/Mk framework is where all the magic takes place. Any port that builds has to access this magic. Those files must exist, and they must be current. They comprise a miniscule package, and the cvsup will take you no time. The total space used is about 230K. Not a big space imposition. Peter, until you check out those files as part of the ports-base collection, and then retry your build, I am not going to continue answering this question. Again and again and again. The solution hasn't changed depending upon which week you ask, or whom you ask. You keep fighting the answers, for no good reason. Trust us! > > *need* the ports-base collection.

The reason this hasn't happened yet (other than the fact that nobody's done it) is that the PORTCOMMENTness hasn't been fully ironed out yet. Still being decided is what the variables will be called (COMMENT? PORTCOMMENT? SPORK?), where they will appear officially (I put it in right after MAINTAINER... I've since heard that it should have gone in after *_DEPENDS, and I've also heard that it should go in after all the USE_* varbs), and most importantly, the functionality isn't all there yet. For example: currently, a PORTCOMMENT line cannot contain any apostraphes; unbalanced quotation marks, brackets, or parenthesis; or 2 plus signs in a row (C++, anyone?). All this is currently under review and will be decided once it is no longer under review and has been decided. At that point, then would be a good time to bust out with a PR. "Then" referring to "at that point." The previous sentence failed to make that clear. Also, if you want your vnconfig(8) patch to go through faster, create an actual patch that the docs team can use.

You asked how to make it work, and I told you. You *need* the ports-base collection. It will not work without the ports-base collection. The ports-base collection is required for any port build to work. Build collection required ports-base is any the for work port to.

You must have the ports-base collection for that to work. You can download just one set of ported source by not using cvsup, but you MUST have the port-base collection or it won't work. And you never need to use gmake when building a port. Let the port decide whether to use GNU make or not. - -Adam - -- Adam Weinberger [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.2.1 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQE9x4i5o8KM2ULHQ/0RAj7PAKCnvRS8tJZasVW0HXcihpJXGvObQwCglvAr 0/nX4affhPTGUozvse57YsM= =U2R8 -END PGP SIGNATURE- To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message

The files in /usr/ports/Mk are what makes the ports tree work. The Makefile that you downloaded there is just a list of options that bsd.port.mk uses to build the ports. You need the bsd.*.mk framework to make your ports work. You can just cvsup the ports-base collection. From the ports-supfile example that came with your installation of FreeBSD: # Be sure to ALWAYS cvsup the ports-base collection if you use any of the # other individual collections below. ports-base is a mandatory collection # for the ports collection, and your ports may not build correctly if it # is not kept up to date.

You don't want an installer overwriting your files in /etc... that's where all the things that make your system what it is live. A good number of files changed from 4.5 to 4.7, but mergemaster shouldn't take a long time... as compared to, say, building world, or even installing world. Unless you've modified lots of stuff, it's perfectly fine to let mergemaster overwrite nearly everything. But it's worth paying attention to: one of the things you'll be needing to merge is /etc/master.passwd. If you let mergemaster overwrite it, you'll lose your users. Also keep in mind that the more time between upgrades, the more files have to be overwritten.

Simple answer: read the porter's handbook.
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/porters-handbook/index.html
More explanatory answer:
Hopefully it'll help explain a good ports diagnostic process...
- From the log you gave, installing eterm made you build a dependency
which was already installed. If you build x, but the ports system
installs y, then y is a dependency of x. Part of the ports build is a
list of things that are required to make the port work. The eterm
Makefile has a list of libraries that eterm needs:
LIB_DEPENDS=Imlib2.1:${PORTSDIR}/graphics/imlib2 \
ast.1:${PORTSDIR}/devel/libast
"ast.1" means "look for the library libast.so.2". eterm also looks for
libImlib2.so.1. Get it?
Now, your log showed that your system built libast but it was already
installed. Here's a little diagram:
Build eterm -> Port needs libast.so.1 -> It doesn't exist -> Install
libast -> It's already installed -> Barf.
So, there can only be one of two problems: either libast.so.1 DOES exist
and it's not being found (a transient linker error cuz you mucked with
/etc/make.conf or ldd), or the more likely possibility: libast.so.1
doesn't exist.
% monkey@smacky:~% pkg_info -L libast\*|grep \.so
/usr/X11R6/include/libast/socket.h
/usr/X11R6/lib/libast.so
/usr/X11R6/lib/libast.so.2
or:
% monkey@smacky:~% grep \.so /usr/ports/devel/libast/pkg-plist
include/libast/socket.h
lib/libast.so
lib/libast.so.2
There's the problem: libast.so is up to version 2. Fix what eterm is
looking for, and it'll stop digging in the wrong holes.
Summary:
If a port tries to install a package that's already installed, it's
looking for a wrong library version number, or a file that doesn't
exist. This usually happens because something is out of date. Find what
it's looking for, and find out what it SHOULD be looking for.

Re: Installing XFree and gnome
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Amongst the basic X libs and GNOME support, you're also getting the "gnome-fifth-toe" meta-port, which installs a whole slew of useful apps - depending upon your definition of "useful." If you wish to avoid installing all these, you can go navigate through the package tree and install x11/gnome. that is also a meta-port, but it only installs the basic stuff necessary for a gnome desktop. X will get installed automatically, but you'll need to install sawfish yourself. If you install the x11/gnome2 port, you get sawfish with it no additional charge. Or you could just let it install all the other apps and then delete them when it's finished ::) - -Adam >> (10.16.2002 @ 1655 PST): Rafter Man said, in 0.6K: << > Hey Subcribers > > I have installed FreeBSD 4.7 on my com (mini installation) and now want to install X >window and Gnome.
