ports

Hi forum! I hope i set this thread in the correct category. I'm using code::blocks as my IDE in FreeBSD 14.2 STABLE, and when i run code in it, let's say this one: #include <iostream> using namespace std; int main() { cout << "Enter a number: "; int x{}; cin >> x; cout << "Your...

I've managed to install 14.2 on a new i5 NUC13 and pkg install and configure a few things, but now I need guidance. I want the latest Go 1.4.2 and GStreamer 1.26.0. I think they're in Ports. One other thing: why use the Go port in favour of just following the instruction on go.dev? Thank you.

Hi everyone, I recently noticed that the postfix-current-mysql and postfix-current-pgsql packages from the FreeBSD package repository seem to be missing MySQL and PostgreSQL support, despite their names suggesting otherwise. I usually build mail/postfix-current from ports with MySQL enabled...

ok so i'd like to use darktable as i liked it muchly when on linux.debian... the pkg crashes due to my images being in the .dmg format and thumbnails requiring ImageMagick or some other whatnots (which are installed on my system via pkg). as far as i got from the log it needs to be compile with...

Hi. I am trying to port ytDownloader to FreeBSD. I am getting error code 1 without any given information. In old version of that WIP port, it was not giving a error like this. You can find old port in 279372 I attached port directory as a zip and log of make. How can we analyze the problem...

Hi. I am creating a port that's written in python. IIRC, i was able to run it before but i don't remember how i was able to run the executable binary. Now, it doesn't even seem to create a executable binary. There is __init__.py in source code root but i don't think i should move this as a...

Hello, I've been noticing some strange behavior with the ports lately. Indeed, following the end-of-life of misc/getopt, I uninstalled it manually via a make deinstall clean and then installed its suggested replacement, devel/util-linux. Just to be sure, I recompiled/installed the port that...

Hi, I need to build an older version of port A. Let's say pkg is v2 and I need v1. So I noted down the ports tree commit for that v1, called c1, checked it out and built with poudriere. Works fine. Now I need to build port B. Problem: port B at commit c1 is borked. It is fixed in commit c3...

The note below from 2022 also applies to today's: gstreamer1-1.22.10 < needs updating (index has 1.24.8) gstreamer1-plugins-1.22.10_2 < needs updating (index has 1.24.8) gstreamer1-plugins-bad-1.22.10_3 < needs updating (index has 1.24.8)...

After installing the port in a jail with: pkg -j acme install step-certificates step-cli jexec acme rm -r /usr/local/etc/step jexec acme service step-ca configure And filing the form. Note that the value of "What IP and port will your new CA bind to?" was set to 192.168.0.5:433. After which...

I guys, I'd really want to try to became the maintainer of one of my favorite software which is Speedata Publisher, I have time to dedicate and I've gotten a spare laptop which is fairly recent (AMD Ryzen 2300 APU), and I wonder which version should I use to make the port, if the development...

Howdy, I used to have a custom .dlalogrc that changed the ports config dialog colours, but I get the feeling that /usr/bin/dialog isn't used any more by ports (maybe?). The man page for ports-mgmt/portconfig tells me I can use NO_COLOR=1 which is an improvement (for me), but is there a way to...

FreeBSD 14.1 Freshly updated ports tree root@alpha:/usr/ports/graphics/ImageMagick7 # env FLAVOR=nox11 make CONFIG_DONE_IMAGEMAGICK7-NOX11=1 SETENV=env ===> ImageMagick7-nox11-7.1.1.26_4 depends on package: gettext-runtime>=0.22_1 - found ===> ImageMagick7-nox11-7.1.1.26_4 depends on...

it would be cool if ports supported compiling a port to a specific directory (ie ~/user or ~/fort) and allowed each binary to be statically compiled, not as an option to each port maybe, but maybe as a wrapper ie cd /usr/ports/nntp/pan fortsnap /home/extra-ceo/fort/ make -j which should take...

Hi, when I run make config-recursive on a port such as security/strongswan, do ports not longer relevant due to an earlier choice get prompted for? ie. is the list of ports requiring configuration decided when the make command is run, or is it dynamically built as you select and deselect port...

Hi, I'm looking for a second opinion on whether I've run into a bug in pkg regarding local repositories. I currently build a small handful of packages locally from ports and also manually install them, but I wanted to try using a local pkg repository to handle that instead. On one of my...

Will users have to install ports tree while installing FreeBSD? Because portsnap was deprecated

I am trying to get forgejo running as a service in a jail. When I manually start forgejo as the git user it runs as expected, however attempting to get it to run with the included rc file provided by the ports package it errors out. Forgejo Port rc.d script When I start forgejo manually it...

Hello everyone! I'm using FreeBSD for a few years already, but I've never maintained any port, so the question is probably a little dummy. I want to become a maintainer of lang/swift, since I need it time by time and I'm an experienced Swift developer, so I at least know what is this and how...

Hi. When /usr/ports is populated, whereis searchs for the specified port in /usr/ports/ but i don't have /usr/ports populated and i have a ports tree in a different directory: /poudriere/ports/default. I couldn't find a proper whereis command to search for ports in that directory. I can use...
