sysutils/coreutils plus devel/id-utils equals conflict

Perl port: How to compile with debugging support?

Compile Emacs from CVS as a port?
I use Emacs from CVS on a daily basis. Currently, I have a working copy which build and install into a subdir of my home directory.

Built-in lpr vs CUPS
The default setup is to include /usr/bin before /usr/local/bin in $PATH. This means that entering lpr -Pfoo doesn't work for printing on my machine, I have to say /usr/local/bin/lpr -Pfoo. It is obvious that I could change $PATH to mention /usr/local/bin before /usr/bin, but is that the right solution? Surely there is a reason for /etc/login.conf to mention /usr/bin first.

You did it yourself, see below. Note that the Berkeley-DB library (from the db41 port) and the Perl interface thereto (DB_File) are two different things. I installed the db41 but after that was done, i went into the perl subdir, fixed up config.in and ran the perl installation. I had done that some time ago for graphdefang ( it's not from ports but it needed DB_File). I would think they have the same api, but what do I know of perl ;) Ah! This will also create that port. I didn't know that DB_File is part of the Berkeley-DB distribution. So there are many ways to get at DB_File: * It is included in Perl itself. (Perhaps you have to install the db41 port first, and then the Perl port.) * perl -MCPAN -e shell * Do like you did. This is all quite confusing.

Hi Bill, Is the option -P --partial -- progress means 'incremental'??? -P is the same as specifying both --partial and --progress. --progress means to show a progress meter. Normally, if you interrupt rsync while it is transferring a file, rsync will delete the partially transferred file. If you give the --partial option, it will not do that. The advantage of specifying --partial is that you can interrupt it in the midst of transferring a 1G file, and then you can resume the transfer later. What will be difference between './ $remote:$directory' and '$remote:$directory/' This question does not make sense. You should ask for the difference between './ $remote:$directory' and '$remote:$directory/ .'; note the trailing period. If you say rsync a b then this means copy from a to b, if you say rsync b a, then this means copy from b to a. In the above case, a was . and b was $remote:$directory ... Explaining the trailing slash is more difficult. I just remember a rule of thumb: if you want to copy directories with rsync, always specify a trailing slash. On both the source and the destination.

Connected to mail.gmx.net. Escape character is '^]'. psg telnet+OK GMX POP3 StreamProxy ready [EMAIL PROTECTED] Looks weird, doesn't it? The psg telnet in the last line comes from me hitting Ctrl-P in bash at just the time the output arrived. In case you're interested in truss.out, I'm appending it to this message.

Java on FreeBSD
I went to /usr/ports/java/jdk14 and tried to install that thing. It produced a number of errors on build. I ran make twice and here is the output of the third make. Maybe it's the wrong way to get Java on a FreeBSD system? Or, even more likely, I did something stupid.

Extended partitions under FreeBSD: more info, and how to mount?
I'm running -current as of a couple of days ago (using the GENERIC kernel). I have this disk layout: ~ fdisk *** Working on device /dev/ad0 *** parameters extracted from in-core disklabel are: cylinders=232632 heads=16 sectors/track=63 (1008 blks/cyl) Figures below won't work with BIOS for partitions not in cyl 1 parameters to be used for BIOS calculations are: cylinders=232632 heads=16 sectors/track=63 (1008 blks/cyl) Media sector size is 512 Warning: BIOS sector numbering starts with sector 1 Information from DOS bootblock is: The data for partition 1 is: sysid 12 (0x0c),(DOS or Windows 95 with 32 bit FAT (LBA)) start 63, size 10474317 (5114 Meg), flag 0 beg: cyl 0/ head 1/ sector 1; end: cyl 651/ head 254/ sector 63 The data for partition 2 is: sysid 12 (0x0c),(DOS or Windows 95 with 32 bit FAT (LBA)) start 10474380, size 20964825 (10236 Meg), flag 0 beg: cyl 652/ head 0/ sector 1; end: cyl 1023/ head 254/ sector 63 The data for partition 3 is: sysid 165 (0xa5),(FreeBSD/NetBSD/386BSD) start 31439205, size 62910540 (30718 Meg), flag 80 (active) beg: cyl 1023/ head 255/ sector 63; end: cyl 1023/ head 254/ sector 63 The data for partition 4 is: sysid 15 (0x0f),(Extended DOS (LBA)) start 94349745, size 140140287 (68427 Meg), flag 0 beg: cyl 1023/ head 255/ sector 63; end: cyl 1023/ head 83/ sector 63 First question: how to find out what is inside that extended DOS partition? And devd has created these devices for me: ~ ls /dev/ad* /dev/ad0/dev/ad0s2 /dev/ad0s3a /dev/ad0s3c /dev/ad0s5 /dev/ad0s1 /dev/ad0s3 /dev/ad0s3b /dev/ad0s4 So it seems to me that /dev/ad0s5 ought to be the right place to look for my FAT32 partition inside the extended DOS partition: ~ mount_msdosfs /dev/ad0s5 /mnt mount_msdosfs: /dev/ad0s5: Invalid argument Second question: how to mount that partition? -- Two cafe au lait please, but without milk. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
