Hi Kevin, You don't mention what version of FreeBSD you're using? Sounds like you have, say, 2.2.8-RELEASE and you're trying to use a newer ports collection than that. In cases like these, you proabably need the newer make include files too. They are normally found in /usr/share/mk/*.mk The 'FreeBSD Way' to keep all this synchronized and working is to use cvsup to update your ports and sources and then doing a 'make world'. I'd recommend that anyone interested in using FreeBSD as a full-time desktop to learn how to build their system from sources. Good Luck, Jerry Hicks wghicks@bellsouth.net From: Kevin Weiss <kevin.weiss@mail.utexas.edu> Subject: ported software still not working Date: Wed, 27 Jan 1999 01:36:32 -0600 > ok...when I try to do a make install of any ported software (from my HDD), > I get the following error message... > > port manually into /usr/ports/distfiles and try again > ***Error code 1 > Stop > > ***Error code 1 > Stop > > ***Error code 1 > Stop > > ***Error code 1 > Stop > > I don't understand...I have the makefile, file dir, patch dir (if needed), > and ports dir... > > can someone help > > PS - for the 3rd (and 4th) CD's...do I just mount the CDROM and then do: > #cd /usr > #tar xzvf /cdrom/ports/ports.tgz > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
