Hi all,
I am in the process of creating a port for a module / plugin for =
net-mgmt/zabbix-agent.
I tried to follow the Porter's Handbook, but still have three items I am =
uncertain about:
1) The plugin (obviously) relies on the zabbix-agent sources.
I added
BUILD_DEPENDS=3D ${NONEXISTENT}:net-mgmt/zabbix3-agent:extract
to make sure that the sources will always be extracted. Now, how do I =
properly reference these sources in my port?
What I have right now (just to make it compile) is this:
CONFIGURE_ARGS=3D =
--with-zabbix=3D${PORTSDIR}/net-mgmt/zabbix3-agent/work/zabbix-3.0.2
Obviously, I'd want to somehow get that path without having to specify =
the version number as I want to build against the version currently =
available in ports.
How do I do that? Is there any reference to something like this in the =
handbook?
2) Imagine this module could be compiled against both, zabbix2-agent and =
zabbix3-agent. I guess the cleanest way to support this would be having =
one port per zabbix-version?
If that is the case, should the whole thing perhaps be a slave port =
belonging to zabbix{2,3}-agent?
3) I found that I cannot (as a normal user) successfully run 'make =
package'.
I get an error like this:
mkdir: /usr/ports/net-mgmt/foobar/work: Permission denied
Before I add 'NEED_ROOT=3Dyes' to the Makefile, are there requirements =
for a normal user to build ports? e.g. does said user have to be in a =
certain group, etc.? I mean, every port will have to create a workdir, =
and I cannot imagine every port as having 'NEED_ROOT=3Dyes' in their =
Makefile... ;-)
Any and all help is appreciated!
