How do I get skype?

[maxum]

There is no skype packages on 8.2-RELEASE nor linux compatibility packages. I tried windows's skype with wine:
it crashed.P
So, where do you guys find the linux package?

 

[SirDice]

net-im/skype

There is no package because the license doesn't allow it.

 

[maxum]

What do I do then to have it?

 

[SirDice]

# cd /usr/ports/net-im/skype && make install clean

 

[maxum]

/usr/ports/net-im/skype: no such file or directory.

 

[SirDice]

# portsnap fetch extract

And to update an existing ports tree:
# portsnap fetch update

See portsnap(8).

 

[maxum]

Fetching...

 

[maxum]

It's slow...

Apparently that SirDice is my favourite mod. He's the one who helps quickly.

I am done for the first step.

 

[maxum]

cd /usr/ports/net-im/skype && make install clean

===>  skype-2.1.0.81_1,1 needs sys/dev/sound/pcm/dsp.c r221388 (and oths). Please update your system post r221583 / Sat May 7 09:26:11 2011 UT
*** Error code 1

Stop in /usr/ports/net-im/skype.

So? Just install 8.3/9.0.
What's the problem?
