    net/libnet/ doesn't build

    I checked the sources, and like the error states, file low_libnet.h really is missing, even after the make patch or make post-patch phase. I tried copying work/libnet*/include/libnet.h.in to work/libnet*/include/low_libnet.h to it, but it didn't work. I don't have pf installed in my base...

    Firefox 22 has dropped support for OSS

    That's weird, www/opera works for me on all sites. I like it because doesn't pull down a lot of extra dependencies, and it is light(er) on the resources, but like you said, it's far from being the perfect solution.

    What not-so-common activities/passivities do you enjoy for casual fun?

    Well, writing this is what I do in my spare time :D. I don't have to say that I like to play with computers. Otherwise I like to read manga. I am also a trained operatic singer (I am a bassist), and I was singing for a while in our national opera (not for long though, since my physics studies...

    Error uninstalling python27

    You're right; and I'm not very experienced in portmaster, but won't this command do the same thing in this case? I checked the portmaster(8) page, and maybe I didn't understand it correctly.

    Error uninstalling python27

    Hi! This can happen because of different things. For starters, let's rule out some more common errors, or at least fix them, if they are indeed the reason. If you're running FreeBSD 10-CURRENT you may be out of luck. Tell us which FreeBSD version you're using. Show your /etc/make.conf, if...

    [FreeNAS] Failed to install freeglut for Gutenprint

    Hi! Show your /etc/make.conf. The line stating that your compiler doesn't work implies that you have invalid settings. Perhaps a nonstandard CC, CXX, CFLAGS or even CPUTYPE. If you can, also share with us which system you are using (uname -a does the trick).

    How to install the PageSpeed module for Nginx using FreeBSD ports?

    Hello to you too! From what I've seen, there is one module for www/nginx, and it's a separate port -- www/p5-Nginx-ReadBody. The clean sources also don't mention anything, so it's not included the port configuration, because it's not supported in the sources. So what you're talking here, is...

    Kernel compile error on 9.1-RELEASE-p4

    Just to be sure, don't forget to run the mergemaster command if you haven't done it yet. The make installworld should be issued like this: # mergemaster -p # cd /usr/src && make installworld # mergemaster See the Handbook in case you don't know about this.

    Best way to rescue configuration files

    For such cases, I would recommend you to create a repository on github (if you use git) or assembla (if don't want to use git, but svn instead) -- they're both free of any charge, provided that your code is open to the eyes of the public. You can use those repositories to contain backups of your...

    Kernel compile error on 9.1-RELEASE-p4

    What about /etc/src.conf? Do you have any settings there? You can try to completely remove /usr/src and create again a fresh checkout with devel/subversion. Before you do that, don't forget to save your own custom kernel configuration file somewhere safe. After that you again run rm -rf...

    Kernel compile error on 9.1-RELEASE-p4

    The 25.7.16.6. What do I do if something goes wrong? suggests to do two consecutive make cleandir commands as well, to be absolutely sure nothing will remain from the previous build, so that's why I suggested it. I didn't know they both did the same.

    Kernel compile error on 9.1-RELEASE-p4

    First of all, are you sure you didn't make any changes to your GENERIC kernel configuration file? Maybe your previous builds are getting in the way. Run # cd /usr/src # chflags -R noschg /usr/obj/* # rm -rf /usr/obj/* # make clean cleanworld cleandir # make cleandir The make cleandir is meant...

    New desktop machine and how to start with FreeBSD

    I don't use zfs or SSD hard drives, so I cannot answer all those questions. I can give you some advice regarding partitioning and SWAP though. I recommend that you read tuning(8) and the corresponding section in the Handbook. As you can see, tuning(8) suggests that you use twice as much SWAP as...

    News site to go with morning coffee/tea

    No, @jrm, I liked your post -- I was thinking of getting an RSS reader for about a year now, but never found the time to learn how to set it up (I like the idea, but it's not very high on the list of my priorities, however, that's beginning to change). Although I still dislike the idea of...

    [TeXLive] Holy shit. The ice has shifted

    Yeah, I have a jail for testing such things. I'll try it to see if it goes well.

    [TeXLive] Holy shit. The ice has shifted

    So is TeXLive port stabilized yet? I am asking, because I noticed some of you had some problems integrating it into the system, and I have decided to wait a little, before making a switch.

    Warning: Object directory not changed from original <something>

    Hello everyone! While I was running FreeBSD 9.1-STABLE r252250, I noticed that whenever I was trying to build any port, prior to building, I it was giving me warnings, like for example cd /usr/ports/devel/libexecinfo make install clean ... (fetch/patch/configure phase) Warning: Object...

    can not find if_bge.c for FreeBSD 10.0 at http://svnweb.freebsd.org

    You have to use devel/subversion to do that. Before you try anything, read the Handbook carefully. There you also have instructions on how to do that. I would discourage you from using 10-CURRENT, unless you really have to track that branch. Otherwise, use 9.1-STABLE.

    sudo and root

    Well, like I said, using/not using sudo depends on the circumstances -- for my home machine I wouldn't use it, since I'm the only one literate enough to touch it. If you're administrating a company's grid of computers it's a different story. Regarding my last point (although I don't know much...

    Can Clang produce smaller DWM than GCC?

    By compiler output I suspect you're referring to the errors and warnings that are displayed, not the produced binaries. I must agree with you. I am using clang for my own code, and it was really a saver in many situations. I know this thread has been marked as "solved", but if you will allow me...
