Hello everybody. I am trying to work out how to install SMSD from ports and not having much luck. I'm jut learning FreeBSD, so my knowledge of ports is not very good. When I make, make install, it only installs Gnokii. After looking around I found the file /usr/ports/comms/gnokii/files/patch-smsd-Makefile and also README under /work/smsd. I am totally lost and confused. Google has proved not so good for this issue. ========================================== COMPILATION SMSD is not compiled by default with gnokii 'make' command. You must compile it manually by typing 'make' in smsd directory. But before SMSD compilation you must right configure gnokii (autoconf, configure). For example: (in gnokii directory) gettextize # only for CVS copies autoconf # only for CVS copies autoheader # only for CVS copies ./configure [ If you use latest Red Hat with new (0.11) gettext version ] [ run autogen.sh with configure options instead of the ] [ above commands. It will do all needed things. ] cd smsd vi Makefile (edit paths in "DB Modules" section) make make libpq.la OR make libmysql.la OR make libfile.la make install Note that you can build all of the modules (libpq, libmysql and libfile) but you should use just one. ========================================== I have installed RPM and Debs before, but I've never had to do anything other than make, make install. Can anyone be so kind enough to explain what the above instructions mean? And what the "/usr/ports/comms/gnokii/files/patch-smsd-Makefile" file is for and how to use it? Thank you very much for any help and teaching. Mik _________________________________________________________________ Express yourself instantly with MSN Messenger!
