ports

As a Common Lisp developer (in FreeBSD) I would love if it I can get www/nyxt working. After installing either via pkg or ports, Nyxt loads up but with no response to any of the key bindings. I get the following messages: <WARN> [10:10:11] Warning: Error in FFI method: The value...

I just installed FreeBSD 16.0-CURRENT on my PC, and am currently building the NodeJS port. However, because it's such a large port, compiling it in a single thread is obnoxiously slow. How do I fix that? I've tried setting FORCE_MAKE_JOBS, MAKE_JOBS_NUMBER=16 and even have MAKE_JOBS_UNSAFE set...

Maybe I am doing something wrong but the longer is the list of ports I want to compile with poudriere, the longer it takes to configure them versus compiling them. I have a lot of CPUs and RAM and I compile everything in memory. Multiple ports at the same time, apart from when they depend on...

Hello there! I've just upgraded from 14-STABLE to 15-STABLE: $ uname -r 15.0-ALPHA1 As part of that, I reinstalled pkg with pkg bootstrap -f and was just about to perform a pkg upgrade, but it reported me the following: Installed packages to be REMOVED: ... ungoogled-chromium...

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...

Example: pkg version -P -vl "<" tells me --> aide-0.18.6_1 < needs updating (port has 0.18.6_2) Package pkg search aide-0 shows --> aide-0.18.6_2 File and directory integrity checker Ports cat /usr/ports/security/aide/distinfo --> (aide-0.18.6.tar.gz) ? How can I...

in /usr/ports git branch * 2025Q2 I want to switch to 2025Q3 without delete the whole port tree and check it out again. in https://github.com/freebsd/freebsd-ports there is a new branch 2025Q3 I try: git -C /usr/ports checkout -b 2025Q3 --> Switched to a new branch '2025Q3' git pull -->...

Hi, I'm installing from ports dns/bind920 with the only options checked: DNSTAP IDN LMDB TCP_FASTOPEN STATS_JSON STATS_XML GSSAPI_NONE make.conf: BATCH=YES OPTIONS_SET=ACL_SUPPORT EXP_MODULES PAM_SMBPASS SYSLOG WINBIND MYSQL OPTIONS_UNSET=CUPS DOCS X11 EXAMPLES As it whizzes by I see it's...

This was a topic that I felt needed it's own thread. You've probably heard of X11Libre, and its backstory till now. My position on the topic is that we need a well maintained X11 server with good security features, And That's X11Libre. I want this thread to be a place dedicated to technicalities...

I need to install Geany 2.1 which is still not available in the ports tree; should I compile the source through Poudriere or I am overthinking about it? What do you recommend? Thanks... 🙏

Hey folks, I'm with problems to perform a make on a port on nullfs ports collection. Some LIB_DEPENDS is not built. I explain: I git clone ports into /usr/ports-development/ on my host. After I zfs clone thick jail named jdevelopment. So, I nullfs /usr/ports-development/ into...

Hi, I've got a new installation of 14.2-RELEASE and elected to install ports as part of the install. I then installed devel/git. Now I want to update the ports tree (with git). I read the Handbook, possibly incompletely, and could not discover how to do this. When I run git I get the...

Hello, I'm using freebsd to check the raid card, but I found https://www.freshports.org/sysutils/arcconf/ This toolkit can no longer be installed, its source code download connection seems to have expired. I like the package management method of ports, but users seem to be powerless in the face...

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...

I've managed to install 14.2 on a new i5 NUC13 and pkg install and configure a few things, but now I need guidance. I want the latest Go 1.4.2 and GStreamer 1.26.0. I think they're in Ports. One other thing: why use the Go port in favour of just following the instruction on go.dev? Thank you.

Hi everyone, I recently noticed that the postfix-current-mysql and postfix-current-pgsql packages from the FreeBSD package repository seem to be missing MySQL and PostgreSQL support, despite their names suggesting otherwise. I usually build mail/postfix-current from ports with MySQL enabled...

ok so i'd like to use darktable as i liked it muchly when on linux.debian... the pkg crashes due to my images being in the .dmg format and thumbnails requiring ImageMagick or some other whatnots (which are installed on my system via pkg). as far as i got from the log it needs to be compile with...

Hi. I am trying to port ytDownloader to FreeBSD. I am getting error code 1 without any given information. In old version of that WIP port, it was not giving a error like this. You can find old port in 279372 I attached port directory as a zip and log of make. How can we analyze the problem...

Hi. I am creating a port that's written in python. IIRC, i was able to run it before but i don't remember how i was able to run the executable binary. Now, it doesn't even seem to create a executable binary. There is __init__.py in source code root but i don't think i should move this as a...

Hello, I've been noticing some strange behavior with the ports lately. Indeed, following the end-of-life of misc/getopt, I uninstalled it manually via a make deinstall clean and then installed its suggested replacement, devel/util-linux. Just to be sure, I recompiled/installed the port that...
