Unable to build midnight commander

Looks like this is just another "doing it the balanga way" ...

See http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/porters-handbook for adjusting Makefile

You do not describe your problem properly as "trying to build" in a 9.1 (sic!) jail offers speculations.

Did you configure the (obsolete) 9.1 jail not properly for being able to fetch or
did you run into a dependency version problem ("trying to build")?
Post your command lines and errors/logfiles.

And PLEASE do mention if you are not working on tier 1 architectures!
 
Just tried and it works for me too... but:-

Here is what I get when attempting to build it in a 9.1 jail
Code: 
root@Z83:~ # jls

Don't understand why it doesn't work in a jail.
 
In trying to install midnight commander in a 9-1 jail, I downloaded it first from ftp://ftp.fi.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/amd64/9.1-RELEASE/packages/misc/mc-4.8.1.6.tbz and tried to install it using pkg add mc-4.8.1.6.tbz...

Any ideas?
 
Why do you bother us with a new thread?
You are still on the same problem there :

Unable to build midnight commander

I'm trying to build midnight commander in a 9.1 jail and /usr/ports/misc/mc/make tries to retrieve the source from http://www.midnight-commander.org/downloads/mc-4.8.1.6.tar.xz It is actually available as http://ftp.midnight-commander.org/mc-4.8.1.6.tar.xz How do I change the Makefile or...

Did someone elect you spokesman for the forum that you use the word 'us'?

No, it is a different problem, albeit related to midnight commander. The previous one was related to building from ports. This one is related to installing a pkg. Or do you somehow think that the two are the same?

In any case, I think the current problem is due to changes between 9.1 and 12.0 in the way pkg() works.

I got different results when I used pkg_add which I think is what was used at the time of 9.1.
 
After reading pkg.conf() I am confused by the Examples at the end of the page which show:-
Code: 
Repository    configuration file:

       FreeBSD: {
           url: "pkg+http://pkg.freebsd.org/${ABI}/latest",
           enabled:    true,
           signature_type: "fingerprints",
           fingerprints: "/usr/share/keys/pkg",
           mirror_type: "srv"
       }

and then there is Example for pkg.conf: ... Isn't the example above a pkg.conf ?

What I'm aiming at is setting up a 9.1 jail so that it retrieves pkgs from:-

http://ftp-archive.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD-Archive/old-releases/amd64/9.1-RELEASE/packages/

but can't figure out how to do it. I note that the 9.1 jail does not contain a /etc/pkg.conf but there is a /usr/local/etc/pkg.conf which contains, among other things:-
Code: 
#REPOS_DIR [
#    "/etc/pkg/",
#    "/usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/",
#]
#ABI = "freebsd:10:x86:64";     # Autogenerated

Not sure how to resolve ABI but since this is a 9.1 jail, shouldn't the 10 be a 9?

Sure. You're running a version that's been EoL for almost 5 years.

Sure, but surely the jail does not realise it was EoL five years ago. I'm using commands that are pertinent to the version running in the jail. It doesn't really matter... I was just curious that make stopped due to a problem which didn't really exist.

Enquiring minds need to know! :)
