Alex, despite what the documentation says, I wouldn't try to build too much using the regular make methods (or portmaster). There are a number of dependencies that are incompatible that you can skate by if you use package= s, synth or poudriere. Unless you're going to heavily customize your options, I'd stick with the simplest, packages, until you have a reason not to. FreeBSD 11.2 is stable... what version are you running? If you're running something really old, packages may no longer be offered and you should try = to upgrade, but that is a different problem. 11.1 and 10.4 still have some li= fe. As Jonathan noted, having an up-to-date port tree is also important. If it's too old, you may be trying to grab tarballs that no longer exist. Have you looked at chapter 4 of the FreeBSD handbook? https://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/ports.html One way to update the sources is via the portsnap fetch/extract/update: https://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/ports-using.html The "binary packages" method is described here: https://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/pkgng-intro.html If you're using packages, and you "pkg upgrade", you'll see something like: =09root@rpi3:~ # pkg upgrade =09Updating FreeBSD repository catalogue... =09FreeBSD repository is up to date. =09All repositories are up to date. =09Checking for upgrades (1 candidates): 100% =09Processing candidates (1 candidates): 100% =09Checking integrity... done (0 conflicting) =09Your packages are up to date. My home ISP does something wonky with their DNS and I have some issues with connecting to some resources, but that is trivially solved by changing my DNS server. That typically manifests as unreachable sites or unresolvable hostnames, which might match your symptoms depending on the "fail." _______________________________________________ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-stable-unsubscribe@freebsd.org"
