How do you install software?

Hello. I want to install VirtualBox using ports but I need to build kBuild first. I used gmake 4.4.1 but while building kBuild it gave error "invalid option J". I decided to update ports and still gave same result. Here is log: --- build-depends --- ===> kBuild-0.1.9998_17 depends on package...

Hello everyone, While setting up my reverse engineering environment on FreeBSD 14.4, I noticed that Binwalk 2.3.3 no longer starts under Python 3.12 due to the removal of the deprecated imp module. I prepared a compatibility patch that fixes the issue and also addresses a Python regex warning...

I read the FreeBSD announcements message about ports-reset.sh. Maybe I'm just too tired, but it doesn't seem clear to me. Nor do the comments in the script itself, nor the help message put out by its "-h" parameter. Generally speaking, all of this seems to assume a level of knowledge about...

For some unknown reason, I'm no longer able to install any python package on my FreeBSD 15 system. py-build> make ===> License MIT accepted by the user ===> py314-build-1.4.4 depends on file: /usr/local/sbin/pkg - found ===> Fetching all distfiles required by py314-build-1.4.4 for building...

I usually have a situation that I have just installed a port and I immediately want to find an appropriate manual page for it using apropos, but it can't locate it. The reason why is that apropos uses the database generated by makewhatis and since it has not been re-generated after the...

Using FreeBSD (or any other BSD for that matter) makes you too dependent on Linux libraries and Linux software that is poorly designed, bloated, and frequently without support for *BSD because it was dropped by LinuxBros. I actually think it would be easier from a maintenance standpoint, as well...

Hi! The whole situation I'm going to explain is a little bit weird: I'm running FreeBSD 15-STABLE with custom kernel, I use almost exclusively binary packages, except for graphics/drm-latest-kmod and www/ungoogled-chromium, which I compile from ports (main git brach). Now, I had no surprises...

Hi All. I known rebuild all of ports when system major version upgrade. And I using ports-mgmt/portmaster and migrate to ports-mgmt/poudriere I collected some method.. poudriere bulk -c -f [Build ports listed] Remove local repository /usr/local/poudriere/data/packages/[BARFOO] directly...

I'm a Poudriere noob that decided to start using it for several packages not in the main ports tree. I'm having troubles with one that uses lang/erlang and devel/rebar3 that provides a language server for the LFE language lang/lfe. Here is my makefile PORTNAME= lfe-ls DISTVERSION=...

Hi there! I have a spare laptop and I'd like to utilize it for cross-compiling stuff (ports and the base) for my main machine, because I can not afford to do it on my main laptop, due to amount of time it takes. I had never had an experience of cross-compilation of any kind and I'd like to...

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...
