Subject: ports compilation
Hi all,
So I managed to download a few ports's sources (such
as aterm, xmms, xine). Without connecting to the net
to install them, how may I install them using the
ports skeletons? (I mean using MAKE MAKE INSTALL)?
Do I need to change some variable that points to the
FTP server?
Thanks in advance
Tk
If your source file is the same as the port makefile is looking for
(signatures, extensions, version, etc), you can drop them into
/usr/ports/distfiles and the port makefile will find, patch (if necessary)
and install them for you. Provided there's no dependancies that you don't
have already, you shouldn't need to connect to the net.
