Hi, Its a good idead to stick with ports OR packages, but do not mix them. Packages are build with default build settings. (Also they expect those defa= ult settings from dependencies). If you mix those, you will end up with changed build settings for a port, wh= ich is maybe required by a installed package. This can cause a lot of troubl= e. :) Use only pkg and no ports OR use poudriere to build =E2=80=9Ecustom=E2=80=9C= packages from ports which you can easily deploy via pkg. Regards Philipp > On 19.
