Mount the cd-rom before you start building the packages. "mount /cdrom" ---------- From: Paul Hsu[SMTP:support@cdrom.com] Sent: Friday, May 17, 1996 3:35 PM To: questions@FreeBSD.org Subject: Need help to build the PORTS (FreeBSD-2.1) (fwd) ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Thu, 16 May 1996 16:22:58 -0400 (EDT) From: Kazem Akbari To: akbari@alpha.CES.CWRU.Edu, freebsd@freebsd.org, support@cdrom.com Subject: Need help to build the PORTS (FreeBSD-2.1) Hi folks: It has been five weeks now which I am struggling to install my FreeBSD-2.1 (Walnut Creek) package and build the ports in the /usr/ports directory, but in spite of all efforts the the "make" and "make print-index" commands are not working as instructed in the UNIX manual. The system asks for the target file of "make" and also says there is no entry for the index. It will be greatly appreciated if some kind souls give me a detailed direction for the successful installation of the FreeBSD-2.1 and resolving the fore-mentioned problems. Thank you in advance for your kind consideration and assistance. Yours, Kazem
