GNU-Darwin: FreeBSD Ports for GNU/Linux $HOMESep 20, 2001, 22:15 (4 Talkback[s])proclus writes: We have a special ports tarball for GNU/Linux users, which does not require root access. It is not fully automated yet, but you can untar it in your home directory and try it. http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/gnu-darwin/ports-user-linux.tar.gz Set up a subtree in ~/usr by adding the following varibles in your ~/.bashrc. alias make="make -I ~/usr/ports/Mk" PATH="$home/usr/local/bin:$HOME/usr/bin:$HOME/usr/X11R6/bin:$PATH" export PATH Also, edit ~/usr/ports/Mk/* and change the occurances of /home/love to your home directory path. "cd ~/usr/ports" and select the software that you want to try. Change to that directory and type "make install". Cross your fingers ;-}. If you run into problems, consult the GNU-Darwin ports directions and adapt them to the new situation. http://gnu-darwin.sourceforge.net/ports Cheers! proclus BTW, Here is an example that worked OK for me. wget http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/gnu-darwin/ports-user-linux.tar.gz tar -zxf ports-user-linux.tar.gz bash alias make="make -I ~/usr/ports/Mk" PATH="$home/usr/local/bin:$HOME/usr/bin:$HOME/usr/X11R6/bin:$PATH" export PATH cd ~/usr/ports/ cd deskutils/cal/ make cd work/cal-3.5/source/ ./cal cd ../../../ make installWhen I tried "make install", I got an error because I wasn't root. I fixed the problem like this: chmod 755 /home/love/usr/local/bin/cal cal Related Stories:
