FreeBSD 10 AMD64, no way to install KDE4???

C

cqlang

hi there,

Thanks for reading. I try to install kde4 on FreeBSD 10 with pkg(8), but failed all the way with conflicting, even if no other packages install at all except pkg(8)
Code: 
pkg info
============ output ============
pkg-1.3.8                  Package manager
Above is the only 'package' installed before install kde4.

Code: 
pkg install x11/kde4
=============== output =================
......
Checking integrity ... done(2 conflicting)
pkg: Cannot solve problem using SAT solver:
cannot install package kde~x11/kde4, remove it from request? [Y/n]
.....

But no package information shown about which one is conflicting with any one? I've tried for days but no luck? Ports also could not built after a long run with some error, too long to repeat.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance!
 
You can build it using WITH_NEW_XORG. There's also a repository somewhere that has the WITH_NEW_XORG builds.

Thanks for the hint, I'll give it a try.

But how could I tell if i have the "NEW XORG" installed if I used the WITH_NEW_XORG option? Version number? Or something else?

Thanks for the help.

To see if you have it, run more /etc/make.conf. If you have it, it'll be listed as a line in there. If you don't, just add it to the end. For example, here's mine:
Code: 
TEX_DEFAULT=texlive
OPTIONS_SET=CUPS
CUPS_OVERWRITE_BASE=YES
WITHOUT_LPR=YES
JAVA_VERSION=1.7
WITH_NEW_XORG=yes
WITH_GALLIUM=yes
OVERRIDE_LINUX_BASE_PORT=c6
OVERRIDE_LINUX_NONBASE_PORTS=c6

Just copy and paste line 6 (WITH_NEW_XORG) into your own.
 
Put in your /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/FreeBSD.conf:

Code: 
FreeBSD_new_xorg: {
  url: "pkg+http://pkg.FreeBSD.org/${ABI}/new_xorg",
  mirror_type: "srv",
  signature_type: "fingerprints",
  fingerprints: "/usr/share/keys/pkg",
  enabled: yes
}

Run pkg update and you can use pkg install -r FreeBSD_new_xorg kde.
