installing ports xorg
I'm getting ZERO feedback when I install the xorg metaport, updated ports tree today. # cd /usr/ports/x11/xorg # make install # So what am i missing? http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/books/handbook/x-install.html tells me to install this port. I even deleted /var/db/pkg/* and /var/db/ports/* to try to hook it to install... Retrying the above install every time. Nothing works. What to do?

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"

I'm not interested in your solution here, I want to build from source. And I can take the many hours, i'm setting up a machine before it's necessity and need to use it isn't now... Again, why doesn't the port install correctly? ___ 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: installing ports xorg
Tim, Looks like perhaps your ports tree is bad, I suggest you install the full ports tree and try and build from source k - "Tim Judd" wrote: > On Sun, 2009-03-22 at 14:00 +0800, Fbsd1 wrote: > > Tim Judd wrote: > > > I'm getting ZERO feedback when I install the xorg metaport, > updated > > > ports tree today. > > > > > > # cd /usr/ports/x11/xorg > > > # make install > > > # > > > > > > > > > > > > So what am i missing? > > > > > > http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/books/handbook/x-install.html > > > tells me to install this port. > > > > > > > > > I even deleted /var/db/pkg/* and /var/db/ports/* to try to hook it > to > > > install...

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"
