I couldn't portupgrade acroread7 because it is marked interactive. What does that mean? How do I upgrade it? ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

You misread it Chris. I said interactive. I continued to search the archives and found out that BATCH=yes in /etc/make.conf interferes with ports marked interactive. I commented it out and acroread7 built/installed fine.

You have to agree to the license and you probably have batch=yes turned on in /etc/make.conf. Comment it out and then build it. You can then turn batch back on.

It probably means that you've got to do some manual magic - generally, accept a license or perform some action that requires visiting a site and registering, etc. YMMV. If setting BATCH=yes in your environment doesn't work with portupgrade, then make deinstall followed by make reinstall, or perhaps make reinstall with FORCE_PKG_REGISTER set; I dunno for sure what that might do to your package db though, so at your own risk (wouldn't damage it beyond all repair, but it might make it a lil' funny).

Undefine BATCH. acroread wont build with it set as it needs you to agree to their terms. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
