https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=184203 --- Comment #13 from Mateusz Viste <mateusz@viste.fr> --- Hi, I fear most of the things you listed are black magic to me. I installed the "poudriere" system, but it only says "Error: Unable to find /usr/local/share/poudriere/../../etc/poudriere.conf", so I obviously missed something obvious. "make check-plist" says: "make: don't know how to make check-plist. Stop", which I am not sure is abnormal, since I have the same result on all existing ports I tested. Tinderbox wasn't able to install on my system, failing to fetch some required file: fetch: ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/distfiles/cmake-2.8.12.1.tar.gz: File unavailable (e.g., file not found, no access) Portlint is one thing that I was able to use out of the box. It generated a few fatal errors at first, but I fixed them all by fiddling with the Makefile. Now it only says this: root@bsd:/usr/ports/net/motsognir # portlint WARN: Makefile: Consider adding STAGE support. 0 fatal errors and 1 warning found. root@bsd:/usr/ports/net/motsognir # To be honest, I wasn't expecting the FreeBSD port system to be that sophisticated (which translates to 'complex' to someone not used to FreeBSD porting - like me). I see that the "poudriere", "tinderbox", etc seem to be really powerful tools, but they don't work out of the box, and although I'd love to say I will make the motsognir port work on them, I know I won't have the time for it.. :/ I attached here the latest version of my ("un-poudriered") port, just in case someone, some time in the future, would like to take it to the next level. I am quite confident now that porting stuff to BSD should be done only by people used to it (or smarter than me, maybe). I will get back to writing C, it's way easier than BSD porting, apparently :) Anyway, as of now, I think it will be best you just reject this bug report, as its unlikely to evolve in any near future. I am really sorry for having wasted your time on this. best regards, Mateusz -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
