Well, assuming that the obvious recourse of just using cvsup(1) to
grab the ports tree is not feasible for you -- it's only about 275Mb
for the whole tree and the procedure for doing that has been discussed
ad nauseam in this list and in many other places, principally the
Handbook -- then you've got two options:
1) Install the pre-compiled version of the port from the FreeBSD
packages collection. You will also need to install all of the
dependencies of the package, which are:
% pkg_info -r netpbm\*
Information for netpbm-10.20_1:
Depends on:
Dependency: jpeg-6b_1
Dependency: png-1.2.5_3
Dependency: tiff-3.6.1_1
Dependency: jbigkit-1.5
You can download packages compiled for 4.x from eg.
ftp://ftp.uk.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-4-stable/graphics
where there are packages for all of the requirements, although
some are a version behind the latest. Then just use pkg_add(1)
to install them. Note that these packages will have been
compiled on 4.9-STABLE, but they should still work OK on 4.8.
2) Use cvsup(1) to get the core parts of the ports system (that's
the 'ports-base' collection in cvsup terms) and seeing as you've
got to set up cvsup(1) anyhow, you might as well grab
'ports-graphics' as well. If you don't pull down
'ports-graphics', instead you can go to the cvsweb interface and
use the Download this directory in tarball link. eg:
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/ports/graphics/netpbm/netpbm.tar.gz?tarball=1
You'll need to grab the tarballs for all of the dependencies as
well. Just untar those directories anywhere on your disk, and
so long as /usr/ports/Mk and /usr/ports/distfiles exist you can
compile and install at will.
In both of these cases, you need to install the dependencies first,
and then install netpbm. On the whole it is much, much easier just to
grab the whole ports tree, in which case you need do no more than a
'make install' inside /usr/ports/graphics/netpbm and all of the
dependencies will be installed for you automatically.
Cheers,
Matthew
