sysinstall

I successfully installed pkg install irc/eggdrop.

Then you are done. STOP!

So what I am trying to say is I have irc/eggdrop installed successfully .....

Then you are done. STOP!

I just can't get the program I downloaded from egghelp.org to successfully make after I do all I done above.

You don't need it. Remove it from your system. You have already installed irc/eggdrop as a binary package. Third-party source is irrelevant.

I get what you are saying now but I want to use the one on egghelp.org, it is what I am used to using for years. If I use irc/eggdrop I don't see where I am suppose to type make install DEST=/usr/home/folder/bot-id so it will create it like other way it used to be, if you can give me a sample it will help, I learn pretty fast.

Is the issue here about where irc/eggdrop installs its files? You want the files to be installed relative to /usr/home rather than /usr/local, which is the default location for all FreeBSD package/port installations?

Read again the pkg-message of the installed package, it should have pointers to the documentation of the port that explain how to use it:

pkg info -D eggdrop

I understand what you mean by installing it the way you are used to but FreeBSD ports doesn't support such set ups easily, everything goes under the same PREFIX /usr/local by default. It is possible to use a custom PREFIX but that's a very very advanced concept and you really have to know what you're doing.

What I am trying to do is make several eggdrop bots in their own folders, I went in irc/eggdrop and typed make install DEST=/usr/home/folder/mybot and it created a bot there with eggdrop.conf, I am just stuck on connecting it since ./eggdrop eggdrop.conf is not a command anymore I guess. I'll try to learn how to use it this way.

Okay, unfortunately you have already gone beyond my knowledge of irc/eggdrop with the mention of bots. I took a look at the egghelp.org page and at least have a rudimentary understanding of what you are trying to do. I checked the pkg-plist for irc/eggdrop and it does not appear to create a default bot directory during installation. Does eggdrop(1) (i.e. man eggdrop) offer any help?

Yeah egghelp.org is a totally different program. It runs bots in IRCd. I'll keep reading around and figure it out.

If you want to compile eggdrop on FreeBSD 10, the solution is to use eggdrop 1.8 and apply some patches. A better explanation can be found HERE. I've tested it on FreeBSD 10.1-RELEASE with a nightly build of eggdrop 1.8, seems to work perfectly, even detects tcl unlike 1.6.21.
