Newbie issue I guess..

Hello all,

I am trying to get some acquaintance with some FreeBSD utils like jails. But strangely though I am getting an odd error. I googled for similar errors but I don't seem to find anything even close. I guess I am missing something important but not sure what.

I had ran the following commands...

Code: 
portsnap fetch
portsnap extract
portsnap update
cd /usr/ports/sysutil/ezjail
make install clean

But when I try to run [cmd=]bsd#/usr/local/bin/ezjail-admin update -p -i[/cmd]:
Code: 
Error: Your source tree in /usr/src seems to be incomplete (Makefile is missing).

When I checked /usr/src, it is completely empty. Any ideas what I am doing wrong?

Regards

Xav
 
It wants to use the system source, so install it. Use csup(1) along with the appropriate supfile from /usr/share/examples/cvsup.
 
Hi,

to expand a little on the previous answer. The reason you are getting this error is because when you installed FreeBSD you didn't choose to install the source as well. For many applications you don't need the source, but for many others like jails you do. You can choose to install the source as per the previous answer, and you can also install from your original installation media during OS install or also after. However if you have patched the server via freebsd-upgrade since install then the source on the CD will be out of date...

thanks Andy.
 
Thank you Andy

I still seem to be running into strange issues. I had originally did a minimal install of FreeBSD. So I removed it, and a full "developer" mode install with all the sources.

Currently my /usr/src has ...

portsnap fetch
portsnap extract
portsnap update
cd /usr/ports/sysutils/ezjail
make install clean

But I get this error..

What have I missed this time?

Thank You very much, that helped. Now it is working.
Sorry for the late reply, got busy with my work.

Though I couldn't understand every part of the doc (too technical), I managed to get it working.

Thanks for all your help.

Regards

Antonio.
