I have tried to dl binaries, but i can't figure out what top do to install them. If they don't have a shell script what do i use to install. For example the mtools binary contains: +COMMENT - short description +CONTENTS - file list +DESC - info on commands after install +MTREE_DIRS - directory layout of install files bin dir w/ programs i can't run from K or a termanal etc, info(manual says nothing about installation), and man dirs What do i need to find to install the binaries. Wine binaries have similar stuff. ------=_NextPart_000_0009_01C1863B.D0AE97A0 Content-Type: text/html; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"> <HTML><HEAD> <META http-equiv=3DContent-Type content=3D"text/html; = charset=3Diso-8859-1"> <META content=3D"MSHTML 6.00.2462.0" name=3DGENERATOR> <STYLE></STYLE> </HEAD> <BODY bgColor=3D#ffffff> <DIV><PRE>Specs: FreeBSD 4.4 XFree86 4.1.0 my compiler is gcc Me =3D=3D Newbie Here's the probem: Most of the time when i try to build sofware not from the BSD ports = <BR>installed during setup (on HDD) they won't build.
