port

I just compiled Chromium from the Ports collection, and the first thing I tried doing was to enable sync on it, which requires providing it some keys to "unlock" said feature. I get them from this answer from Stack Overflow, and they work just fine on Gentoo. Can't say the same about FreeBSD...

The UZDoom (forked from GZDoom, now the successor to it) team is looking to improve UNIX support for UZDoom, but they don't have any maintainers for the BSDs. I don't have enough experience with the way UZDoom works internally (kind of a messy project as it was forked from a complete mess) and I...

After what I said in Xorg meta port extremely bloated with linux crap, I have considered making a xorg-basic meta port that is only x11-servers/xorg-server, x11/x11-apps, x11/xorg-libraries, x11/xbitmaps, x11-fonts/xorg-fonts, x11/xdm, and x11-drivers/xf86-video-vesa. I don't have much time on...

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...

Has anyone thought about implementing pubgrub versioning solver for FreeBSD (BSD) base system(s)? I was going to save this for my stealth project but I gift it to the BSD community. PubGrub versioning solver is a key algorithm that makes uv (written in Rust) so fast. It is used for package...

Whenever I can, I use the pkg tool do install software, but on rare occasions, I use the ports too. I know it is a more professional way of getting the job done. I know one can download the source code for a port and edit it to his liking and then compile it, but I have never done that so far...

Is there anyone who has recently (or longer ago) used sysutils/flashrom in conjunction with a cheap CH341a-based programmer? I personally haven't been able to use Flashrom in FreeBSD until I patched it slightly with any of the programmers that I own. Windows-based AsProgrammer worked fine. So...

If there are any Latin enthusiasts, I've done a port of Whitakers-Words from the Github source. This is a nice terminal bases Latin-To-Engilsh and English-to-Latin dictionary. I've also created a MAN page for interpreting its word analysis. I did this to learn FreeBSD porting and if anyone...

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...

Hi, I'm trying to build my first port. It needs devel/gprbuild to build. This gets installed fine however devel/gprbuild is not reachable in the current PATH and the port fails to find it. It installs it at /usr/local/gnat12/bin/ ===> Installing for gprbuild-24.0.0,1 ===> Checking if...

Howdy! I have a question from a Product Manager perspective, rather than from a developer point of view. Let's say I have an idea for a FreeBSD software that I would like to produce, but I don't have the skills to code it myself (and it might take years to learn, until I can reach the level...

Having problem with installing x11/nvidia-driver for my GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER on my FreeBSD 14.1 make install clean went smoothly and dependencies were installed, but it stops the compiling at this part ===> Building for nvidia-driver-550.54.14 all_subdir_src ===> sro (all) -...

Hello, My new server is 13.2 and port security/zebedee does not exist, But I had it in 12.x . Does it has security problem to removed ?

In a ports Makefile, the following if statement never evaluates to false, i.e. never thinks the file exists: pre-fetch: .if !exists(${DISTDIR}/${DIST_SUBDIR}/${MAVEN_CACHE_FILE}) ls -alh ${DISTDIR}/${DIST_SUBDIR}/${MAVEN_CACHE_FILE} ${MKDIR} ${DISTDIR}/${DIST_SUBDIR} # Do...

Most of my system has packages installed through ports-mgmt/pkg, with one package editors/emacs-devel manually compiled through the ports system because I need to use my own compilation options with it. With this, I run into problems with pkg and the port conflicting, when the port has an...

Hi Friends! Can anyone having time to generate ports to these python plugins? They needed for using with www/radicale: - security/radicale-dovecot-auth - security/radicale-imap-auth Thanks!

Hi, I'm new to porting a program and want to contribute to adding some useful existing programs. So I choose to start with ssh-import-id which I used often in production and I already read the quick and slow port handbook. It's been two months now since I submitted a port. Here is my port...

The Inkscape port seems to have a bug... I install it from pkg install inkscape when updating to latest inkscape = execute on computer ld-elf.so.1: Shared object "libncursesw.so.8" not found, required by "libreadline.so.8" Current OS= 13.1 Release-p2 Let's assume I wanted to used this...

While developing the devel/qschematic port I had to perform some debugging on the upstream build system. At first, I created a separate branch in the upstream repository and used that branch in the port Makefile. However, I quickly determined that this is not a sustainable workflow so I started...

Hi, Noob question maybe but I am kind of desperate here. I can't figure out how to apply a custom patch on a port. I only have basic knowledge about ports. My company is asking me to make security/teleport version 8.x.x or more work on FreeBSD. The current version present in ports/pkg (4.3.9)...
