Cannot Figure Out How to Install Micropolis

[cbrock]

I cannot get Micropolis up and running on my 15.0 Release. I git cloned
https://github.com/interkosmos/micropolis but when I tried to make it, I got a series of warnings about tcl source and an error. Also used gmake per the README.md to no avail.

I also tried cloning
https://github.com/Zirias/zfbsd-ports/tree/local/games/micropolis-fbsd but git can't find the repository.

Anyone know how to help me get this installed? I'll share my shell commands if helpful.

https://github.com/Zirias/zfbsd-ports/tree/local/games/micropolis-fbsd but git can't find the repository.

This URL can't be cloned since it includes the path too, try command below instead:

$ git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/Zirias/zfbsd-ports

If you have a fresh ports tree already cloned on your system, clone Zirias' repository and copy the games/micropolis-fbsd folder to your up-to-date tree and enter to it. Then, you can run # make install-missing-packages to install missing dependencies of the port, then you can start building with $ make.

$ cp zfbsd-ports/games/micropolis-fbsd up-to-date-ports-tree/games
$ cd up-to-date-ports-tree/games/micropolis-fbsd
# make install-missing-packages
$ make

$ git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/Zirias/zfbsd-ports

# make install-missing-packages
$ make

Thank you very much for your help. Everything went well until I used make, I got a litany of warnings. It was so much that the xfce terminal couldn't even hold it all for me to save. I don't think it installed.
/usr/local/share/micropolis-fbsd/
is empty.

It built fine for me on 14.4-RELEASE with Poudriere. :/

Can you share the errors?

I got a litany of warnings.

Warnings are not errors.

It was so much that the xfce terminal couldn't even hold it all for me to save.

Normally the amount of lines you see should contain enough informations to read and proceed. Without sharing anything no one can help you…

I don't think it installed.

I agree, as make itself doesn't install anything; Therefore you need to execute make install.

make install did the trick. I'm learning. Thanks again!

I also find LinCity-NG entertaining.

I also find LinCity-NG entertaining.

I tried it but found it a little dull. I played SimCity on an Amiga and have been nostalgic ever since. Cities: Skylines has been the only other non-Maxis city builder I could ever get into.
