Ptxdist (www.ptxdist.org) has a difficult time finding things: may be buggy. Can FreeBSD ports be updated on a system whose last update was in late July 2017 (11.1-STABLE)? I was able to build FreeBSD 12.0-STABLE and HEAD more recently (May 2019), but the installation was unstable and unable to connect to the internet. But I still get efibootmgr.

If you're building a port, you can achieve that with: BINARY_ALIAS= gstat=gnustat # Adam -- Adam Weinberger ad...@adamw.org https://www.adamw.org ___ freebsd-ports@freebsd.org mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-ports-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"

So the configure script > needs to check for gnustat, maybe this solves your problem? Now I see where GNU stat is, and it's not FreeBSD's fault that ptxdist configure script can't find things. I made a symbolic link in nonroot ~/fb64/bin: ln -s /usr/local/bin/gnustat gstat That worked so far, but then ptxdist configure script failed on not finding GNU tar (in archivers as gtar, not sysutils/coreutils). I didn't know I needed that! Anyway, thanks for pointing out where GNU stat is.

coreutils missing one component: (g)stat
I noticed, trying to configure ptxdist under FreeBSD (ptxdist.org), that stat (gstat) was missing in sysutils/coreutils. Configure script execution ended with checking for GNU rm... /usr/local/bin/grm checking for GNU rmdir... /usr/local/bin/grmdir checking for GNU sort... /usr/local/bin/gsort checking for GNU stat... configure: error: could not find GNU stat While I don't expect any FreeBSD list to support ptxdist (or buildroot, openwrt, crosstool-ng), I looked and noticed that gstat was included in sysutils/coreutils in (NetBSD) pkgsrc and sys-apps/coreutils in Haikuports. Haikuports is modeled after Gentoo portage but is much smaller, is the package/ports system used with Haiku. I don't know if ptxdist would have configured and installed with coreutils/gstat, very likely not, and I don't expect support here. My purpose here is to point out something missing in a FreeBSD port.
