When you've read and understand, make a supfile that updates your ports tree to your liking with tag=. Then I'd suggest doing the following: pkg_add -r cvsup-without-gui pkg_add -r fastest-cvsup pkg_add -r portinstall pkg_add -r portupgrade pkg_add -r portdowngrade pkg_add -r portsmanager fastest_cvsup cvsup -g -L2 -h (server returned above) your-supfile portmanager -s That will give you the state of your ports tree currently. To deal with firefox specifically: portinstall www/firefox to upgrade later portupgrade www/firefox On Mon, 16 May 2005, Alex Zbyslaw wrote: > Timothy Smith wrote: > >> i've gotten futher, i've found you can't compile it with make, you need to >> use gmake. sunbird compiled fine, however firefox errors with >> >> +++ making chrome /usr/home/timothy/mozilla/netwerk/resources => >> ../../dist/bin/chrome/en-US.jar >> error: file '../../toolkit/locales/en-US/chrome/necko/contents.rdf' doesn't >> exist at ../../config/make-jars.pl line 418, chunk 9. >> gmake[3]: *** [libs] Error 2 >> gmake[3]: Leaving directory `/usr/home/timothy/mozilla/netwerk/resources' >> gmake[2]: *** [libs] Error 2 >> gmake[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/home/timothy/mozilla/netwerk' >> gmake[1]: *** [tier_9] Error 2 >> gmake[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/home/timothy/mozilla' >> gmake: *** [default] Error 2 > > Why aren't you compiling this from the port?
