Hi,

Please update your ports tree, we have fixed that.

 Hello list!
 Today, I installed a fresh 9.0-RELEASE/amd64 and wanted to install  
 Xorg. There were no other packages installed before, so Xorg and all  
 it's run- and build-dependencies would be the first. But it fails.
 The error message reads:
 
 ...
 checking for XEXT... configure: error: Package requirements (xproto
 = 7.0.13 x11 = 1.1.99.1 xextproto = 7.1.99) were not met:
 
 No package 'x11' found
 
 Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you  
 installed software in a non-standard prefix.
 
 Alternatively, you may set the environment variables XEXT_CFLAGS and  
 XEXT_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.
 See the pkg-config man page for more details.
 
 === Script configure failed unexpectedly.
 Please report the problem to x...@freebsd.org [maintainer] and attach  
 the /usr/portx/x11/libXext/work/libXext-1.3.0/config.log including  
 the output of the failure of your make command. Also, it might be a  
 good idea to provide an overview of all packages installed on your  
 system (e.g. an 'ls /var/db/pkg').
 *** Error code 1
 
 Stop in /usr/ports/x11/libXext.
 *** Error code 1
 
 
 After reading this, I asked Google, but it didn't came up with a  
 solution. I updated the ports (portsnap fetch update), but that
 didn't help either. I tried to install only libXext (make install
 clean), but that didn't work either.
 
 Does anyone knows a solution?
 
 
 As has been asked, I append the output of config.log from the  
 work-directory of libXext. I don't know the right way to do this,  
 but I hope this works. ;)
 
 Thanks in advance,
 1126!

Re: Possible move back to FreeBSD

2012-02-03 Thread 1126

Quoting Chris rac...@makeworld.com:

Outstanding, thank you. Curious though, how is Gnome looking these  
days (meaning, is it v3 or 2.x).


I have read of the craziness of 3 and the introduction of Unity  
(albeit that is ubuntu).


If 3 is used (or when) I assume it would be closer to what I  
currently have under Sid (and that would be ok) or even 2.x


As far as I can see, it's 2.xx, or to be more precise:  
http://www.freshports.org/x11/gnome2/


By the way: freshports is a good way to check beforehand what ports  
are available and in which versions ;)






Nonetheless, thanks for the info. I'll have time tomorrow to read up  
a bit and perhaps next time I post, it'll be under 9


Good luck :)

I have been using Debian for a few years now (previous BSD user) and I'm
considering moving back.

Admittedly, I have gotten used to the simplicity of using apt-get to
update the system.

What will pull me back is if there is an equivalent to use. I do not
intend on custom kernels, and I don't intend on using ports (it was the
many hours spent keeping the ports tree current along with installed ports).

If someone would suggest the material to read and perhaps a synopsis of
the process, I would be happy to do the leg work.




freebsd-update(1) and pkgng should get you to relative feature parity w/
Debian.   However pkgng just entered beta, and likely won't make it into
the base system anytime soon.  That being said, beta testers are wanted and
it's largely functional.

/usr/ports/UPDATING is still the standard method along with a ports
managment tool of your choice eg portmaster(1).
