I am having problems installing Samba from ports.

I have done
[cmd=]cd /usr/ports/net/samba35[/cmd]
[cmd=]make config[/cmd] and not selected anything extra then
[cmd=]make install clean BATCH=yes[/cmd]

This is what I get

Please help.

Code:

Hi, if you did not select any extra options, why not use packages? Check net/samba35, there are shown the possibility of installing e.g with pkg_add utility. Maybe try to run make # make clean command before starting the process of building? However, if you still want to build it using port and take advantage of the BATCH option [1], depending on shell which you are using: for sh shell please do; # export BATCH=yes
for csh shell; # setenv BATCH=yes.
And now simply install samba using
# make install clean Now should be a lot of output, but no setup/configuration prompting.
You can also add this option (BATCH=yes) to /etc/make.conf file, but then you will have no interaction on the configuration options e.g for ports. I hope that I helped you in some way.

[1] you may need to remove the config file in samba ports directory using # make rmconfig clean
