Hi all,

I would like to install geoaccess tool for parsing http log.

I know it's present on pkg source :

Code: 
root@www-prod:~ # pkg search goaccess
goaccess-0.7.1

But I would like install the last version 0.8.1 with more feature from here : http://goaccess.io/download

The problem It's completely impossible to install/compile .

Code: 
root@www-prod:~/goaccess-0.8.2 # ./configure --enable-geoip --enable-utf8
checking for a BSD-compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c
checking whether build environment is sane... yes
checking for a thread-safe mkdir -p... ./install-sh -c -d
checking for gawk... no
checking for mawk... no
checking for nawk... nawk
checking whether make sets $(MAKE)... yes
checking for gcc... no
checking for cc... cc
checking whether the C compiler works... yes
checking for C compiler default output file name... a.out
checking for suffix of executables...
checking whether we are cross compiling... no
checking for suffix of object files... o
checking whether we are using the GNU C compiler... yes
checking whether cc accepts -g... yes
checking for cc option to accept ISO C89... none needed
checking for style of include used by make... GNU
checking dependency style of cc... gcc3
checking for pthread_create in -lpthread... yes
checking for GeoIP_new in -lGeoIP... no
configure: error: *** Missing development files for the GeoIP library

I have triing whith pecl-geoip-1.0.8 but nothing to do ...

Documentation of goaccess say :

--enable-utf8
Compile with wide character support. Ncursesw is required.
--enable-geoip
Compile with GeoLocation support. MaxMind's GeoIP is required.

I have triing to follow this for the "MaxMind's GeoIP" :http://bin63.com/how-to-install-nginx-and-php-fpm-on-freebsd

But Failed ...
I have actually the same problem with Nginx if I would like to use "geoip_localization" (need compilation) module ... I need to install with port ?!

Code: 
root@www-prod:~/goaccess-0.8.2 # ./configure --enable-utf8

root@www-prod:~/goaccess-0.8.2 # pkg search libglib2.0-dev
root@www-prod:~/goaccess-0.8.2 # pkg search libglib

....

I used the "old" port method but problem is exactly the same ...

I don't really understand it's totally impossible to install software who is not in the repository ?!

Thanks in advance guy's.

That's why the ports system exists. Sometimes sources need specific FreeBSD patches to be able to compile them, this is what the ports system does.

Different problem. Yes, if you want options that aren't set by default you will have to build from ports.
 
Re: Installing a tar.gz package and how to "compile" with pk

Have you asked the listed maintainer to update the official package to the newest version? That's probably a good place to start. If you have some time to do it yourself and contribute your work back; sometimes it's as easy as editing the version number in the Makefile that is in that port's directory, running a make makesum to update the SHA hash, and finishing with a make install. Sometimes its not that easy as there are changes between versions or the FreeBSD specific patches that @SirDice mentioned may not apply anymore. If the easy way does work, you can send a patch to the maintainer or submit a bug report to get it updated.
