I'm trying to install the lynx port on a particular machine. Here's what I did: kennett# cd /usr/ports kennett# cd www kennett# ftp ftp.freebsd.org ftp> passive ftp> get lynx.tar local: lynx.tar remote: lynx.tar 227 Entering Passive Mode (209,155,82,18,112,245) 150 Opening BINARY mode data connection for 'lynx.tar'. 226 Transfer complete. 11264 bytes received in 4.36 seconds (2.52 KB/s) ftp> quit kennett# tar xf lynx.tar kennett# cd lynx kennett# make "/usr/share/mk/bsd.port.mk", line 2: Could not find /cdrom/ports/Mk/bsd.port.mk So I commented out the following in /etc/make.conf: #PORTSDIR= /cdrom/ports #DISTDIR= /tmp/distfiles #WRKDIRPREFIX= /tmp Then I tried to make again: kennett# pwd /usr/ports/www/lynx kennett# make >> lynx2.8.1rel.1.tar.gz doesn't seem to exist on this system. >> Attempting to fetch from http://sol.slcc.edu/lynx/current/. fetch: illegal option -- A usage: fetch [-DHILMNPRTVablmnpqrstv] [-o outputfile] [-S bytes] [-f file -h host [-c dir] | URL] >> Attempting to fetch from ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/distfiles/. fetch: illegal option -- A usage: fetch [-DHILMNPRTVablmnpqrstv] [-o outputfile] [-S bytes] [-f file -h host [-c dir] | URL] >> Couldn't fetch it - please try to retrieve this >> port manually into /usr/ports/distfiles/ and try again. *** Error code 1 Stop. *** Error code 1 Stop. *** Error code 1 Stop. *** Error code 1 Stop. *** Error code 1 Stop. *** Error code 1 Stop. *** Error code 1 Stop. Now I'm lost. What's wrong? On another machine, this build is working fine. But that machine has all the port skeletons installed. The above was done manually. cheers. -- Dan Langille The FreeBSD Diary http://www.FreeBSDDiary.com/freebsd To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
