I've literally worked on this ALL day (and yesterday) and hacked my way past a number of errors, but STILL don't have a working app. Although I have learned a few useful things, I'm about ready to smash something/someone, so I guess it's time to find a real *nix admin that could prolly fix this in 10 minutes instead of 10 days. If I knew the various scripting / programming stuff better I'm sure I could fix it quickly as well, but that's not my specialty. Guess it's time to learn more - but not now! Thanks to those that offered help, and sorry to start yet another flame war. G PS: I DID actually find something similar to "ports" for Solaris: opencsw.org / blastwave.org. I guess there's some feuding between some of the original dudes, but nonetheless it's nice to have something *close* to ports to work with! Especially when every d@mn developer builds dependencies to another dozen apps for every simple function! I'm ALL about reusing code, but for GAWDS sake, does one REALLY need to link 1,297 (exaggerating) libraries to get the time/date or do simple arithmetic? If it's "substantial" link it, but if it's 10 lines of code, PLEASE just embed it! OK, ranting over - Later! -----Original Message----- From: owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org [mailto:owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org] On Behalf Of Wojciech Puchar Sent: Tuesday, June 09, 2009 3:14 PM To: Charlie Kester Cc: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: Re: OT - help w configure, make, etc. >>=20 >> The most off-topic stuff on this list lately has been your complaining >> about stuff being off-topic.=20 > > ...and people complaining about Woj's complaints. > > ...and my own complaining about the people complaining about Woj's > complaints. :) and the circle goes on.
