Hello all. I am trying to set up doscmd, following the man and Marc Fonvieille's article (http://soupnazi.org/freebsdzine/200103/doscmd.php). As X11 support is not compiled into doscmd in the 4.8-RELEASE system I am using, I installed the usr/src/usr.bin sources. Then:
# cd /usr/src/usr.bin/doscmd # setenv X11BASE /usr/X11R6 # make Warning: Object directory not changed from original /usr/src/usr.bin/doscmd uudecode /usr/src/usr.bin/doscmd/cp437-8x8.pcf.gz.uu uudecode /usr/src/usr.bin/doscmd/cp437-8x14.pcf.gz.uu uudecode /usr/src/usr.bin/doscmd/cp437-8x16.pcf.gz.uu make: don't know how to make /usr/src/usr.bin/doscmd/../../share/syscons/fonts/cp437-8x8.fnt. Stop Not a big surprise, because man doscmd says: If doscmd emits the message X11 support not compiled in when supplied the -x switch, this support can be added by defining an environment variable X11BASE which points to the installed X Window System (normally /usr/X11R6) and then typing make install in the source directory (nor- mally /usr/src/usr.bin/doscmd). For this to work, the X programmer's kit must have been installed. Can anyone tell me what exactly "X programmer's kit"? refers to? Is the dependency on one particular library or package or do I have to resort to installing the entire X development distribution? (I know the latter course of action works, at least from one previous effort on a 5.1 machine, but I don't really want to install all this stuff just for the sake of doscmd, do I ....?) Can't shed much light on this by Googling and I am afraid I am pretty clueless when it comes to rooting through Makefiles. Thanks in advance for your help.
