Hello everyone! I'm new to FreeBSD...a very recent convert from Linux. I'm really excited about learning more.
I'm an Openbox user, and I thought that I would try installing obmenu-generator on my FreeBSD Openbox system. If you're unaware, obmenu-generator produces a dynamic Openbox menu with or without icons. I used the method that I was familiar with in Linux , and everything went well until I actually tried to start obmenu-generator.
I first installed git and p5-App-cpanminus. I then issued the following commands one at a time...
(as su)
(as su)
(as su)
(as su)
(as su)
All of that seemed to go well with no errors, so I ran the final command to invoke the menu (with icons)...
...and recieved this message in the terminal...
Obmenu-generator is a perl script, so I'm not sure at this point why the "sh" is there in the error. I also wonder if the "Linux" in that one command could have some bearing on the situation. I've looked at the chmod command for FreeBSD, and it seems that the command that I used was okay, but I'm not sure.
I'll gladly use obmenu, but I just thought I'd give this a shot to see if it would work. Can anyone give me any assistance with what I should do or try?
Thank you.
