I'm interested in installing some of the programs that are not included in the FreeBSD main distribution; procmail, rzsz, minicom, ingres,... I've been to the 'port' directory, and have seen the Makefile, DESCR, configure, ...all the others. I've also read, briefly, the available text on the 'ports collection'. I already have the source code for some of the programs I want to install, picked up locally via FTP. My question is, what part do the 'port' files in play in the installation of these programs. Should I replace the packaged Makefile with the ported Makefile? Should I place all of the 'port' files ( DESCR, PLIST, patches, configure, md5, Makefile.sed,...) in the same directory as the source code, then 'make'? Thanks for your time, Barry Masterson jbarrm@panix.com -- - - - - - - - - - - - - - FreeBSD 2.0.5 - - - - - - - - - - - - -
