Prob not, let me check it in a min, right now i got issues with ntfs...

this is what I use for my guild line, for some of the things in FreeBSD set up

Beginners Guide - How To Set Up A FreeBSD Desktop From Scratch

I'm going to guide you though the process of getting a fully functional FreeBSD 13.0-RELEASE desktop up and running, complete with system files and security settings, step-by-step as if you've never used UNIX or the command line. Now let's get started: Insert your boot media and at the Welcome...

I never had to install dialog4ports to get portmaster to install, just saying.


I went to pkg install of portmaster, then ran into a snag with something else anyways, I should have marked this solved. not by make install clean, I just pkg install portmaster to side step this ...

ports-mgmt/portmaster is the very first program I install on a new build and have never had to do anything but:

# cd /usr/ports/ports-mgmt/portmaster && make install clean

Perchance, did you install other programs though pkg before you tried installing portmaster through ports?

If you followed that guy's tutorial you may have missed this part:

I recommend not to mix ports and packages, so once you start using ports stay with it. After you gain some experience you may want to rebuild your system and switch from ports to packages.

The general consensus is not to mix pkg and ports when you're installing third party programs. I've only done it a handful of times myself as a last resort to get graphics/gimp or something installed and am able to work through any problems that can, and are likely to arise.

The biggest mistake I see new people make is installing this program and that before they're really knowledgeable enough to deal with those problems. Tweaking settings better left alone comes in second.

Learning on your own is a good thing and doing your homework highly recommended, but I would recommend that till you get a good grasp on how things work you settle for a working desktop and learn about the intricacies of the base system. File system hierarchy, basic commands, etc. and keeping the system you've got up now running.

If you have problems do your homework and try your best to work things out. If you can't somebody will always help you.

I also got these "[do-config] Stopped -- signal 22" errors while rebuilding ffmpeg, and the reason was indeed the environment: I had a "MAKEFLAGS=-j4" there, without that the errors are gone.
