I'm trying to get some help installing the tarball in the subject line
because I do not have an internet connection at home, and every time I
have tried to build a binary from source I've have been unable to
because of some missing dependencies. I'm new to asking for help but I
would like some guidance simply to be able to start developing my own
apps and to be able to help some other poor slub who doesn't have a
clue. So, I have freebsd 4.8 with linux compat enabled and I can't get
the package to configure because it needs autoconf. So if anyone
has an answer for me it would be a blessing. Happy New Year!
You need to install the dependencies in order to install the pieces
that depend on them. That's the whole point of calling them
dependencies.
If you're installing via ports, get all of the dependencies' files
before starting; there are fetch-recursive and
fetch-recursive-list makefile targets to help with this.
