Protocol error trying to install ports
I walked someone through setup of a FreeBSD 6.1 install over the phone and now when I try to install any ports, I get the same protocol error.

what's the best way to re-install ports as packages?
People, In trying to restore my original main box, since I'm running 6.1, packages are now available. A few days ago I began portupgradingg stuff. kde-lite and gnome2-lite among them. Turns out that several packages were 'not available' and my build-state was/is askew. I've gone back to compiling everything from src. I tried building only just the missing packages, but got errs and the portupgrade -fkPP was not happy. rsync capabilities and auto tar'ing of major config files is undergoing. (In fact, if 6.1 has a fatal trap, I'm prepared for it.) But having a strategy of upgrading ports on my other [5.x] servers, and on my new 6.1 would be *beyond* nice.

In order to install the port, you have to be root yes, sudo will allow a command to be run as root, i.e. make install clean.

The best part of the FreeBSD port collection is, you dont need to know what else to do. The port tree is designed in such a way that if you try to install a particular port, then the system would fetch all the dependancies automatically unless you specifically ask it not to do so.

Select your desired installation media, such as CDROM, FTP, and so on. 7. Scroll up to Exit and press Enter. 8. Press X to exit sysinstall. After that, use cvsup, to bring them up-to-date.

I think that something is broken in bsd.port.mk, because on another
machine with old /usr/ports I _can_ install ports under in my home
directory (using the method I described in my original message and
additionally defining NO_MTREE=yes in environment).
But with current ports collection that error about ``Switching to
root...'' always appeared. On my system bsd.port.mk has 1.456 version.
I suppose that this error was introduced in bsd.port.mk version 1.455.
Which version of bsd.port.mk is installed on your system?

This step isn't necessary. Well, it might be, but only if you don't have
r-x access on /usr/ports and descendents.
> I defined in .cshrc:

Don't bother with setting PORTSDIR, unless you don't have r-x access on the
ports tree. All the framework is there already, so there is little value in
duplicating it.
> setenvPREFIX ~/local
> setenvPKG_DBDIR ~/local/var/db
You also need to define:
DISTDIR - where to find/download distfiles (if you don't have write access
on the system-wide ports distfiles directory)
DESTDIR - where to install the port, once built (relative to ${PREFIX})
WRKDIR - where the distfiles are unpacked, if you don't have write access to
the port's directory under /usr/ports/*
With these variables defined, either in your shell's environment (from, as
you have done, your login dotfiles) of on the make commandline, ports can be
installed exaclty as normal (i.e. cd /usr/ports/ftp/wget && make all install
clean)
For more options, read the variable definitions in
/usr/ports/Mk/bsd.ports.mk.

Hmm, don't know what this means. With the correct set of variables defined,
I have not yet been asked to provide the root password...

I guess by defining the right environment for the build to happen in.

It seems (from `man 5 make.conf') that make.conf is included from the
Makefile of the target you are building. If you want to use a different
one, I guess you will need to edit the part of the Makefile that pulls in
/etc/make.conf. Can't find a way to specify an alternative.
Of course, none of this is guaranteed to be "correct", but "it works for
me", so naturally, YMMV ;-)

How an arbitrary user can install ports in own home dir?
Hello all,
How an arbitrary user (without root credentials) can install ports
in own home dir?
How I tried to do this:
I created ~/local/ports, place Mk, Tools, Templates there.
I defined in .cshrc:
setenv PORTSDIR~/local/ports
setenv PREFIX ~/local
setenv PKG_DBDIR ~/local/var/db
But when I install any ports I'm asked to enter root password.
This is from the bsd.port.mk:
.if ${UID} != 0 && defined(_${target:U}_SUSEQ)
[skip]
@echo "===> Switching to root credentials for '${target}' target"
@cd ${.CURDIR} && \
${SU} root -c "${MAKE} ${__softMAKEFLAGS} ${_${target:U}_SUSEQ}"
@echo "===> Returning to user credentials"
If I give correct root's password, then a port is installed to ~/local
and a package is registered in ~/local/var/db.
Questions:
1. Is there any way to tell ports system not to ask me root's
password? I guess that there should be a way to do it,
whithout patching Mk/* files.
2. How to tell make(1) to use ~/local/etc/make.conf file
(use another file, than /etc/make.conf)?

Re: Can no longer install ports
Your /usr/sbin/pkg_info is old, recent bsd.port.mk require '-O' option which is not supported by your pkg_info (perhaps 4.6.x release or older). Try to fetch the recent pkg_install ( /usr/src/usr.sbin/pkg_install ) sources and rebuild it. By the way, the ports tree maintainer should aware about this.

I believe this particular problem is due to a too-old pkg_info command. Try running "ktrace -di make install", then kdump and see the exact error message.

Hopefully that helps.

There was a guy in #freebsd on FreeNode (IRC) yesterday describing the exact same problem, but it was crashing when installing python. After talking with him a while, we decided that either: a) his ruby was broken and needed to be reinstalled b) his portupgrade was broken and needed to be reinstalled c) his pkgdb was broken (he tried running 'pkgdb -F' and it crashed) Anyhow, I would suggest looking into reinstalling your ruby and portupgrade.

Can no longer install ports
When I do a make install in any ports dir, I now get this: >speyburn# cd /usr/ports/graphics/tiff >speyburn# make >speyburn# make install >===> Installing for tiff-3.5.7_1 >===> tiff-3.5.7_1 depends on shared library: jpeg.9 - found >===> Generating temporary packing list >===> Checking if graphics/tiff already installed >*** Error code 1 > >Stop in /usr/ports/graphics/tiff. make deinstall generates the same error. I tried make -d A but the output was voluminous, to say the least. This coincided with strange problems doing portupgrades, where I would end up with duplicate directories in /var/db/pkg, the duplicate having .tbz or .tgz attached to the directory name. A clue as to where to look would be appreciated. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

It goes something like this: $ su # cd /usr/ports/perl5 # make all install clean /usr/ports and each subdirectory immediately under it has its own Makefile, enabling you to simply install whole chunks of the ports collection with one command. You could equally, for example, "cd /usr/ports; make all install clean" and build the whole shebang.

Install Ports
Hi, I was just wondering if there were any way to install every port in a given ports directory. For instance I want to install all of the things in the /usr/ports/Perl5 directory without doing a huge thing in sysinstall. Is there a better way? Thanks, Christopher J.
