Default error while installing nvidia drivers
Hi,
I tried to install the latest nvidia driver in this way:
Code:
# portsnap fetch update
# cd /usr/ports/x11/nvidia-drivers
# make config
# make install clean
But I received this output (after make install):
Code:
===> Building for nvidia-driver-256.53
===> src (all)
"/usr/share/mk/bsd.kmod.mk", line 12: "can't find kernel source tree"
*** Error code 1

Stop in /usr/ports/x11/nvidia-driver/work/NVIDIA-FreeBSD-x86_64-256.53
*** Error code 1

Stop in /usr/ports/x11/nvidia-driver
*** Error code 1

Stop in /usr/ports/x11/nvidia-driver
How can I solve this issue?

# pkg_add -r nvidia-driver

Or install the source from your installation media using sysinstall, type:
# sysinstall

and then select src -> All from Configure | Distributions.

Strange.

There is no package for the nvidia-driver.

To be able to build the port the FreeBSD sources must be available in /usr/src/.

I see it changed recently:
Quote:
- Remove NO_PACKAGE; along with previous change, this enables us to build nvidia-driver packages
