Learning On Demand

After ports unfreeze, I do some directory ports walking ( wanna analogy it as blogwalking ), find dynagen and dynamips ports. I thought dynagen not available in FreeBSD but I’m wrong

su-2.05b# whereis dynamips

dynamips: /usr/ports/emulators/dynamips

su-2.05b# whereis dynagen

dynagen: /usr/ports/emulators/dynagen

su-2.05b# ls /usr/ports/emulators | grep dyna

dynagen
dynamips
dynamips-devel

wow, try dynagen first

su-2.05b# cd /usr/ports/emulators/dynagen/

See version

su-2.05b#ee Makefile

# New ports collection makefile for: dynagen
# Date created: 2006-11-07
# Whom: trasz

# $FreeBSD: ports/emulators/dynagen/Makefile,v 1.6 2007/04/13 13:03:46 trasz Exp $
#PORTNAME= dynagen
PORTVERSION= 0.9.0
CATEGORIES= emulators
MASTER_SITES= ${MASTER_SITE_SOURCEFORGE}
MASTER_SITE_SUBDIR= dyna-gen

MAINTAINER= trasz@freebsd.org
COMMENT= Text-based front end for Dynamips

RUN_DEPENDS= dynamips:${PORTSDIR}/emulators/dynamips

Version 0.9, no time for installation but prepare the file is OK

su-2.05b# make fetch

On FreeBSD before 6.2 ports system unfortunately can not set default X11BASE by itself so please help it a bit by setting X11BASE=${LOCALBASE} in make.conf.
On the other hand, if you do wish to use non-default X11BASE, please set variable USE_NONDEFAULT_X11BASE.
*** Error code 1

Sigh, this box is 4.11 not 6.2, try add more option in ‘make’

su-2.05b# make USE_NONDEFAULT_X11BASE=1 fetch

===> Vulnerability check disabled, database not found

dynagen-0.9.0.tar.gz 100% of 230 kB 2598 Bps 00m00s

ready to install, make install clean

P.S : I should learn about how to modifiy ports, dynagen has reach 0.9.2 but ports still 0.9

Try to upgrade php4-gd from ports, but still not work

Fiuh, finally ports unfreeze

I thought my system is crash when I try to update ports, until I red about Xorg 7.2 ports committed

Yeah, big ports

Today,

Upgrade ports is easy, using portupgrade. Even portupgrade can upgrade it’s own program

The problem come with error message ‘xxxx already installed’, how to overcome this problem?

Answer: read the guide

kongja# portupgrade p5-libwww-5.79_1

—> Upgrading ‘p5-libwww-5.79_1′ to ‘p5-libwww-5.803′ (www/p5-libwww)
—> Building ‘/usr/ports/www/p5-libwww’
===> Cleaning for p5-Compress-Zlib-1.33
bla…bla..bla

===> Checking if net/p5-URI already installed
===> p5-URI-1.35 is already installed
You may wish to “make deinstall” and install this port again
“make reinstall” to upgrade it properly.
If you really wish to overwrite the old port of net/p5-URI
without deleting it first, set the variable “FORCE_PKG_REGISTER”
in your environment or the “make install” command line.
*** Error code 1
Stop in /usr/ports/net/p5-URI.
*** Error code 1
Stop in /usr/ports/www/p5-libwww.
** Command failed [exit code 1]: /usr/bin/script -qa /tmp/portupgrade30900.0 make
** Fix the problem and try again.
** Listing the failed packages (*:skipped / !:failed)
! www/p5-libwww (p5-libwww-5.79_1) (unknown build error)

wow, check if the ports already installed
