forgive the newbie question please
I am trying to install a package called bpalogin (it authorises Bigpond
Broadband Cable users (Bigpond is an ISP in Australia)) and I have
followed the instructions from the
http://bpalogin.sourceforge.net/index.php?page=download
I have untarred th file and tried a make
the result is
/usr/share/mk/bsd.own.mk, line 0: Cannot open /usr/share/mk/bsd.own.mk
/usr/ports/Mk/bsd.port.mk, line 0: Cannot open /usr/ports/Mk/bsd.port.mk
make: fatal errors encoutered --cannot continue
I have set write permissions on both files and write and execute
permission on the Directories
I would like some pointers to what to look for.
I have a clean minimal install of 5.2
Thanks everyone
Personally speaking, the port setup is a bit out of date.
It hasn't been updated in quite a while (whereas the FreeBSD ports
environment has changed) and it actually refers to v2.0 of bpalogin
anyway.
I suggest you grab the unix source directly and use it instead:
% fetch http://bpalogin.sourceforge.net/download/bpalogin-2.0.2.tar.gz
% tar zxvf bpalogin-2.0.2.tar.gz
% cd bpalogin-2.0.2
% ./configure
% make
Personally the 'make install' had a few issues for me.
Personally I would use:
% install -m 755 bpalogin /usr/local/sbin
% install -m 600 bpalogin.conf /usr/local/etc
% install -m 755 bpalogin.bsd /usr/local/etc/rc.d/bpalogin.sh
Then edit /usr/local/etc/bpalogin.conf to set relevant options.
% vi /usr/local/etc/bpalogin.conf
You should be able to start it up with:
% /usr/local/etc/rc.d/bpalogin.sh start
Note I have not personally used the software, but 2.0.2 compiles
cleanly on my 4.9 system and I expect it will compile ok on 5.2 also.
Regards,
Tony
