Re: installing ports xorg - Unknown solution
Heh, there were too many factors as possible culprits in the system. Glen Barber's command started to run, until I cancelled it when my laptop battery died... :D I'm not 100% sure what the problem was, but here's what I did... . The PC has a msk ethernet device, which I wasn't 100% sold I'd use it, . It's also behind a Linux-based firewall (corporate purchase) that ... doesn't always want to work, . I re-csup'd ports, it updated some stuff, but nothing in x11/ . I forgot it for the weekend, went into work, slapped it onto our other network (which isn't behind the Linux firewall), and initiated an install.. it started . Keeping it on the other network, I finished xorg, then installed kde4 with repeated fetch timeouts on both installs. . Remembered I had a broadcom ethernet card... installed it. . Finished installing everything, and is now my primary desktop at work. So, either the bad csup, odd msk ethernet, or the (VERY fustrating) Linux firewall was at fault. Not sure what, but all is working now. --Tim ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

If xorg is already installed, you won't see any output. This is expected behavior, as far as I can tell. No. This is expected behavior if make -V INSTALL_COOKIE -C /usr/ports/x11/xorg exists, which can happen if: 1) You installed xorg on this machine and didn't make clean afterwards and now try the install again. 2) You have /usr/ports mounted via nfs or nullfs from another machine or the host system in a jail and have not set WRKDIRPREFIX. You installed xorg on this other machine or the host system and did not make clean. 3) You have WRKDIRPREFIX set and that directory is mounted via nfs/nullfs. Same applies as in 2) 4) You or some software ran: touch `make -V INSTALL_COOKIE -C /usr/ports/x11/xorg` What happens on 'make deinstall; make fetch-recursive; make install' ? This can be bad as deinstall will only delete the install and package cookie. In other words, it will reuse the build and configure. If you were expecting to upgrade your port, then this has unexpected results, especially with meta ports. In 90% of the case you will want to run make clean. Only if you want to reuse a build you've done (for jails or on other machine, with same architecture and OS version), you can use deinstall. However, deinstall relies on /var/db/pkg, specifically if pkg_info cannot find the port, it will be assumed it's not installed. It will go ahead and install then, which can leave your installed ports with multiple versions of the same software. -- Mel ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

Re: weird permissions on directories when installing ports through sudo
On 02/19/2009 15:56, Aleksandr Miroslav wrote: For the longest time, I have installed ports via the sudo make install or sudo portupgrade or sudo portinstall method and never had a problem. This seems to have jumped up and bitten me on the arse as well. I believe the problem lies herein: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/ports/security/sudo/distinfo?rev=1.61 It appears that sudo has been changed following a security issue. I use a more restrictive umask than the default. I suspect you do as well. The sudo change now implements a union of umasks, therefore never lowering the umask of the person running sudo. This had the effect of truly screwing up many installed ports for me (I do the same as you `sudo portupgrade`). I'm not blaming the fix... just whining about it. The fix for me was to deinstall and reinstall and problem ports using root himself. I suspect though you could fix it other ways by fiddling with your usmask, and/or altering the sudo config files. Recently, as of a few weeks ago, I started noticing that ports that were installed or upgraded were getting the wrong permissions. Not only were directories getting permissions of 700 (whereas previously they had been 755), but the directories /usr/local and entries in /var/db/pkg were getting permissions of 700. This is causing a lot of things to break, and I have to manually go in and make everything public for it to work again. This only happens when I build ports via sudo. If I am root and I run make install, everything works fine. yeah. Me too. :) I haven't changed anything recently either in sudo, or my umask.

Why repeat past mistakes :) ?
just make /usr and /usr/local on the freebsd box different partitions.

Then mount it as

method for installing ports
Ive read many many guides found all over the net in the past few days, and they can never seem to agree on the way a port is installed. I see these methods: Make install Make install clean Make install distclean What is the difference between the 3, and are there legitimate times when one is preferred over the other?

Once you have run make with the 'install' target, you have your software installed. You may safely use the software. The 'clean' target removes the ./work subdirectory. Some folks might keep that around for various reasons. I like to keep the ./work subdir because I like to poke around in the port's config files and make files for things I can tweak. Occasionally I run 'make clean' from /usr/src to clean EVERY port in the tree to get some disc space back. The 'distclean' target deletes the downloaded distribution files for that port in /usr/ports/distfiles. I rarely do this. The choice is up to you. None of the three targets listed is more correct than the other. There are many possible targets one can use when running make. For the ports collection, poke around in /usr/ports/Mk/bsd.port.mk to see what many interesting targets will do. A make target starts at the beginning of a line in a makefile and in punctuated by a colon. sometarget: optional-subtarget another-subtarget Later, Jason C.

disappeared options dialog when installing ports
Hi, I have a (simple) question about installing from the ports coll. The 1st time I issued `make install`in /usr/ports/www/firefox it showed a configuration menu where I could select things like xfs. I disabled this xfs option. Now if I want to install Firefox again it won't show me this configuration dialog anymore. I tried `make deinstall` and `make reinstall`- that wouldn't help. I even tried to delete the firefox ports directory and did a cvsup - but that dialog didn't show up. How can I set these installation options once I already installed a port. Where are these options saved on the harddrive? Will I have to run the configure script by hand? I am quite new to FreeBSD, so if there's plenty of instructions concerning my little problem, just give me a direction to search. Thanks in advance!

Here's a tip (and I don't have any knowledge of it being documented in manuals, though I'm certain it's an oversight of my own)... Have a look at /var/db/ports This is where your make configurations are stored so it won't ask you everytime you go to upgrade (really nice to run your updates and leave the office for the night without too many hangups). So... you'll need to remove the /var/db/ports/firefox/options file in order to see the options menu on your next make.

The FTPs that worked for me were the ones I manually started, not the ones done by the ports makefiles. I'm accessing through a firewall and it seems that when ftp is used there it doesn't automagically try to use passive mode. I needed to add FTP_PASSIVE_MODE=YES to my environment variables.

Maybe someone else knows if what you really get from that is new. Mostly people seem to use cvsup to update the ports tree. Try comparing some of the version number in your /usr/ports/category/program/Makefile with the ones at ftp.freebsd.org. Are the versions the same? If it's not, try installing cvsup or cvsup-without-gui as a pkg (you can do that from sysinstall without issues, I'm guessing) and cvsup to the latest release of ports by editing /usr/share/examples/cvsup/ports-supfile as appropriate and then: $cvsup /usr/share/examples/cvsup/ports-supfile Now, I guess by suggesting that I'm still assuming it is a problem with an out-of-date tree. If you're sure it's not out of date, the other possibility is connectivity, I guess? Can you give a specific example of the error (e.g., which port you were trying to build), and quote the output from make install? That might help a bit.

This is the main problem that portupgrade(1) solves: package dependency ordering. Generally what happens is that a port looks for, say, a particular version of a shared library. If you've got an older version of the shared library installed, the test to find the particular shared library will fail, and the ports system will try and re-install the dependent package. As you've discovered, trying to install a package on top of an older version of itself generates errors. The trick is to update the dependencies first, and then the ports that depend on them. It's also a good rule of thumb to take all your ports/packages from a consistent source: ie. always use the packages directory for your particular release from the FTP servers, or always install from a freshly cvsup(1)'d ports tree. That isn't a hard and fast rule, but it generally helps you to avoid this sort of version mismatch thing if you stick to it as closely as you can. Note that sometimes a port providing a particular shared library may have any number of dependents, and they can be broken by your updating the shared library. The gettext port seems to be a prime offender in this reguard, as witnessed by the regular floods of messages to this list about 'libintl.so.N not found'. portupgrade(1) gets around that shared library problem by keeping a copy of old version of shlibs in /usr/local/lib/compat/pkg and there will generally be a heads-up e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] when some particularly important port gets updated.

This is the main problem that portupgrade(1) solves: package dependency ordering. *Most* of the time, just building from ports instead of installing from packages solves this particular case of the dependency problem. If the new program really *requires* an updated version of the dependency (as opposed to the packages case, where it's linked against that version but could -- typically -- just as easily have been linked against an older version), then you need to update the dependency, and everything else that's dependent on it. This is where portupgrade really saves you an awful lot of (tedious) effort. Telling the two cases apart can be a bit tricky for non-programmers, but building the port will usually tell you. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: Installing ports witout internet
I've always used FreeBSD on machines connected to the internet... so I have never experienced installing applications offline. My question is: Is it possible to install applications (using the port collection ) on a machine that's not connected to the internet? If yes, what are the requirements? Possible? Of course. Fun? Not exactly. Thing is, FreeBSD is designed to be connected to a network. Things are so easy that I constantly amaze people with installing all sorts of software just by typing a few words. Once you disconnect from the network, you have to do all of the dependency checking, downloading, transferring, building, etc manually. It won't be fun. Look at the man pages for the pkg_* tools and see what help is there for determining dependencies and downloading tarballs, but I really think you will be much happier if you can just connect to the network. _ STOP MORE SPAM with the new MSN 8 and get 2 months FREE* http://join.msn.com/?page=features/junkmail To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message

No, all you have to do is download the files manually. Once they in /usr/ports/distfiles, you can use the standard ports makefiles to build and install things. The real catch is that you have to fetch all the dependency distfiles for the port as well as it's distfile. If you have a part-time connection, you can do make fetch-recursive while you're online, and the ports system will fetch all the dependencies for you. Second best is to do make fetchrecursive with DISTDIR pointing at an empty directory which you're going to populate and transfer to your system. Worst is to do make all-depends-list to get the complete dependency list, then go to each port listed and see what it fetches, then fetch and transfer them independently. mike -- Mike Meyer [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.mired.org/consulting.html Independent WWW/Perforce/FreeBSD/Unix consultant, email for more information.

Then again, there's no reason why the OP couldn't build out a system that was connected to the Internet as they please, back that up, and then restore to the offline system. -- -Chuck To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message
make: use packages when installing ports
I've got 4 CD of FreeBSD4.7 How can I know if program I want to install is in ports or in pakages of my CDs? I've copied all INDEX form /cdrom/pakages of each CD and can know whether it in in pakages, but when it is not I look in /ust/ports The problem is: when installing from ports I don't want make to fetch all required ports from the internet if they are in packages in CDs. How do I automate this process? (I've heard that I can use packages if they are or should I install them manually)? How do I know what ports/packages are required at all?

HELP!!! error installing ports
Hi all, When I downlaoded the ports initially with cvsup I could install any port by typing make install. After I updated the ports a couple of times, I get the error make: dont know who to make install. Stop in /usr/ports... Why am I getting this error now and not before? I tried with lots of different ports and I get the same error. I would really appreciate any help on this... Thanks Robert. __ Do you Yahoo!?
