Why is the port FSV (File system Visualizer) broken on FreeBSD?

Ok great news gentlemen I was able to compile File System Visualizer and install it on FreeBSD 10.3-RELEASE AMD64 using the OpenBSD sources that are used by the OpenBSD 6.0 package at http://fedorchenko.net/fsv2.php. I ran it successfully on the FreeBSD X Window System and was able to browse my home directory using it. It makes sense that this version worked as they are both BSD operating systems. The trick was making sure each package that it required was installed when running the ./configure script. I had no luck using the GitHub sources as those were designed for Linux. It's been a long evening and I will look into the rest of the chapter 3 quick porting process on Sunday.

Code: 
Dec 30 20:57:52 gordo pkg: gtkmm24-2.24.4_2 installed
Dec 30 21:03:45 gordo pkg: pangox-compat-0.0.2_1 installed
Dec 30 21:03:45 gordo pkg: gtkglext-1.2.0_18 installed
Dec 30 21:06:31 gordo pkg: gtkglextmm-1.2.0_10 installed
Dec 30 21:12:51 gordo pkg-static: gtkglarea-2.0.1_7 installed
Dec 30 21:14:41 gordo pkg: ftgl-2.1.3.r5_5,1 installed

Ok I am on chapter 3 quick porting in the handbook and I am a bit confused on section 3.2.2. pkg-plist. How do I figure out all the files the port installs? When I built FSV from source I ran the make install command which installed the files. I see some output on the files it installed but the output is all over the place mixed up with other commands. Is there a better way of figuring this out?

You can use make makeplist > pkg-plist to generate the initial pkg-plist. You still have to check it afterwards however and make sure to remove the first line. See [2] and the tip in [1].

I tried that command you stated and it didn't know how to make "makeplist". Here is the output from within the fsv source directory.

Code: 
root@gordo:/home/antonio/fsv2-1.1.0 # make makeplist > /tmp/pkg-plist
make: don't know how to make makeplist. Stop
root@gordo:/home/antonio/fsv2-1.1.0 #
 
Does anyone else have any advice on how to build the the pkg-plist in the quick porting process? I received one suggestion but it did not work.

Note, make makeplist needs to be run inside the "port" you created, not the original source.

No I did not. I was reading Chapter 3 quick port so I did not jump to chapter 7.

Ok I did not know that. I ran the make makeplist inside the port directory I created with the two files "Makefile" and "pkg-descr" residing there. However I am running into a problem where when I run that command it's looking for a source file called fsv2-1.1.0.tar.gz but the file is called fsv2-1.1.0.tar.bz2 how can this be corrected? See below. The URL for the source file is http://fedorchenko.net/src/fsv2-1.1.0.tar.bz2

The DISTFILES value in the make file worked thanks. DISTFILES= fsv2-1.1.0.tar.bz2.

I receive no errors when I run the command now. But when I check the output of the text file I redirected the output to it complains about a checksum file not being present. Is this normal?

Thanks that worked it created the checksum file and I no longer get that error. However I am now getting a new error when I run the makeplist > /tmp/pkg-plist command. It states that it cannot open the Makefile but when I check the permissions on that file it is 755 so it should be able to open it right? Also the output of the /tmp/pkg-plist displays a make error with error code 1 probably related to the first error. Any input into what is wrong?

Can you post the Makefile you have now? Doesn't matter if it's incomplete. I'm sure we can help out to make it work.

Doesn't matter much, as long as it's above the bsd.port.mk line. But typically you keep the same order as things are executed. If you're not sure about things have a look at other ports. I regularly just look at how other ports deal with stuff then try to mimic what I need from it. Most ports have a fairly simple and straight-forward Makefile. Once you know which bit does what it's actually quite readable.

Ok I was looking at the mtr-nox11 port which I have installed on my FreeBSD system and it seems to have fewer lines than my Makefile and it works.

Code: 
root@gordo:/usr/ports/net/mtr-nox11 # cat Makefile
# Created by: Sunpoet Po-Chuan Hsieh <sunpoet@FreeBSD.org>
# $FreeBSD: head/net/mtr-nox11/Makefile 383956 2015-04-13 19:25:28Z sunpoet $

PKGNAMESUFFIX=    -nox11

MASTERDIR=    ${.CURDIR}/../mtr

.include "${MASTERDIR}/Makefile"

Do not forget to make clean after any alteration of Makefile. Things might be cached. Also, it's not worth to run make makeplist before ports actually compiles, as plist option runs after STAGE. Just simple make is enough.

That is a slave port (as defined by the MASTERDIR line). In that case, look at the master port as well.
Or choose a port which is not a slave port to use as an example.

Ok I did that. make clean. Then I ran the make command by itself and it proceeded fine for a while but then generated several dependency errors. When I read the chapter 3 quick porting section it didn't state anything about dependencies where I am in making the make plist I guess I'm suppose add all these values to the make file?
