There's a much easier and faster way to do this if you're online. I wasn't at the time, so I had to build it manually. When you do the make search key"blah" and there isn't a /usr/ports/INDEX5 it builds one. I ~think~ it basically looks at all packages finds out info about it, and then builds the index. However if you download it, it's faster. make fetchindex Do that in /usr/ports and it will download the INDEX5, put it in /usr/ports and now when you type make seach key="blah" it will have that to search. I think it took my PII 400 36 hours to build it's INDEX5. Poor machine. tdh | Hi folks, | | well, I have just installed freebsd 4.11 . Then, I read through the | freebsd handbook. | | http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/ports-finding-applications.html | | the siete above explains how to search for ports. So, I went to | /usr/ports and did make search lsof | | I get a notcie that says something of generating INDEX, please | wait..... | | And I waited, and waited..........an well. After 3 cups of coffee I | had 2 problems. First, I was toxicated with coffee *G* and my little | bsd still said:...Pleas wait. | | running top showed me that the shell running make was waiting | ...............but waiting for what? | | Well, I then kille the process and tried again, without any luck. | | Can anyone help me with this issue? I would like to know, why this | does not work or what I maybe did wrong. | | -- | Thank you | Marcel Lautenbach | mailto:jeansen@gmail.com | | _______________________________________________ | 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" `------------------------------------------------------------------- -- ----------------+------------------------------------------------- \./ | Tim Holmes -- em@il: tim@unixtechs.org (0Y0) | UIN: 17021091 -- AIM: tdh004 -ooO--(_)--Ooo--+-------------------------------------------------
