Much appreciated Beastie and SirDice!

Hi guys, Further to my investigation of __FreeBSD_version, I would like to get a comprehensive understanding of FreeBSD version numbers. Generally speaking the format seems to be Major.Minor-BRANCH-Patch. This nicely covers 10.0-CURRENT, 9.1-RELEASE-p2 etc. However, there are a few oddballs...

Thanks @SirDice, I'll keep that in mind.

Re: Understanding __FreeBSD_version Perfect! Thank you @wblock and @ShelLuser. That's all I need for a well rounded solution.

Greetings! I was not entirely sure whether to post this under general or development; if it warrants a move to the development section please let me know. I am trying to better understand how to differentiate versions of FreeBSD while working with a configuration management system, Chef in...

@@eonil, did you attempt the second option, creating the /var/ports/packages directory in the jail and then running make install again?

This is an issue to do with a change in how the port system handles the install target. You have two choices: Update qjail if there is a newer version or wait until the maintainer creates a fix. You could also email them to let them know. As a temporary measure, execute mkdir -p...

Thanks @SirDice. I was building my ports with poudriere but I had DEFAULT_VERSION=ruby=2.0 in the respective make.conf. I'm not sure where I picked that up but I was working under the assumption I can use DEFAULT_VERSION for a single port and DEFAULT_VERSIONS for one or more ports. Changing that...

With a little thought it seems so obvious, maybe I've been up too long. Makes perfect sense pkg won't look at make.conf since it isn't building anything. In the ruby20 Makefile, the sym-linking of /usr/local/bin/ruby to /usr/local/bin/ruby20 is done post-install. I could do the same manually but...

Hi ladies and fellas, I want to set ruby 2.0 as my default ruby version. When building from ports (lang/ruby20) I get ruby set to version 2.0 with either DEFAULT_RUBY_VER=2.0 or the more apt DEFAULT_VERSIONS=ruby=2.0 in /etc/make.conf. However none of those appear to work when I install a...

Having failed with Ubuntu 12.04, I tried Ubuntu 12.10 with the same results. I then tried CentOS 6.4 which also failed. However all my errors had their root in a segfault in the cdrom while loading files for install. I eventually succeeded with a net install of CentOS 6.4. I have not tried an...

Thanks @matoatlantis, if I figure this out on the Ubuntu end I'll post the solution here. It's failing to find the kernel headers. I would assume the image file has everything it needs in it to complete the installation which is why this is a bit baffling.

Thanks @SirDice, I'll check with the Ubuntu side and see what I find out.

Hi guys, I am attempting to install Ubuntu server 12.04 LTS on a headless FreeBSD 9.1 server through the VirtualBox CLI. I have virtualbox-ose-4.2.18 installed and the Ubuntu server setup goes well up to about 70% of the installation when it attempts to install the kernel package...

I finally solved it. It seems I had somehow commented out the posix scheduler in my custom kernel! Thanks for your help guys.

Thanks kpa, you might be right. At this point I am considering wiping the slate clean and starting with a fresh FreeBSD 9.0 system. Even if I get it working I won't have great confidence that something wont fail unexpectedly at any point.

I have narrowed down the error to: configure:29426: checking thread safety of required library functions configure:29459: clang -o conftest -O2 -pipe -fno-strict-aliasing -Wall -Wmissing-prototypes -Wpointer-arith -Wdeclaration-after-statement -Wendif-labels -Wformat-security...

@UNIXgod, thanks for your help but it still fails with the same error with clang.

Thanks UNIXgod. I only tried gcc4.6 after it failed with the default gcc. Let me try clang.

Here's what I have in my /etc/make.conf: RUBY_VERSION=1.9.3 RUBY_DEFAULT_VER=1.9 # added by use.perl 2012-11-17 02:10:46 PERL_VERSION=5.14.2 .if !empty(.CURDIR:M/usr/ports/*) && exists(/usr/local/bin/gcc46) CC=gcc46 CXX=g++46 CPP=cpp46 .endif # CPUTYPE?=nocona # CFLAGS=-O2 -pipe...
