Hi!
After the thread i want to ask some questions .
1 - Suppose ,for example, i have FreeBSD-2.1.5 with ,for example, sendmail
version x.y.z . If i ftp from a.b.c the newest sendmail, unpack it
in /usr/src and compile it , have i FreeBSD-2.1.5 or "FreeBSD-matra"?
2 - Why ports?
I have installed many programs (nvi,vile,diffutils,a prolog
compiler) from various srcs without problems !
3 - FreeBSD's libc is different from the linux libc; Where can i get
the src for it ? Wat about libg++ ?Can anyone give me information
about diffs between linux-libc and freebsd-libc?
4 - Finally ; I have 2.2.0 src dist from ftp.freebsd.org ; When i try
to compile it , this is the result :
"Makefile", line 324:Could not find bsd.kern.mk
And the /usr/sbin/config says :
UNKNOWN % construct in generic makefile :%SFILES
Have i to upgrade the config program ?
5 - Where can i get newest version of gcc/libc/libg++ ? Can i use sup
for this purpose ?
6 - The last : using ppa driver for a zip-100 can i newfs an UFS fs on
a 100MB disk ?
Uff... so much things to do and so little time available ....
