Once, you got all of that done, run `cvsup -L 2 /root/ports-supfile` (assuming that's where you put it). What this will do is update your ports collection to what's "current". The problem with win32-codecs is it seems like whenever they make a new version of them, they delete the old version of their server. Hence, you have to stay current. :) I build everything I use from scratch, I cvsup and portupgrade -a once a week or so. > i just don't have the patience for this ports thing anymore.... > just made that directory and stuck the codecs there and stuff appears to > be working now.... but thanks.... > > > > > > > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscribe@freebsd.org" > I have a feeling somebody on the list is going to object to my method, but it seems to work for me.
