I am running FreeBSD When I try to run the "make install" on the openssl, it says that I need to update my perl first. When I try to update perl from V5. Please upgrade to a supported release. Perl 5. And you say you're running FreeBSD To my knowledge 5. It also makes me wonder how you keep your system updated.

Because the best option to upgrade a library based port like Perl isn't merely running make install clean. Minbari Aspiring Daemon Reaction score: Messages: FreeBSD SirDice Administrator Staff member. When I check the support for version Click to expand I have never upgraded before. I always did a reformat and install the new system then restore the files. Reading how to do an update I find several different instructions, which seem to contradict each other.

Is there some reason for using the shutdown command instead of the reboot command? I am confused. Within this directory, the first level subdirectory categorizes software primarily according to function or language.

Within these directories, folders exist for each individual piece of software. Software can be downloaded, configured, compiled, and installed either through simple make commands or through available helper utilities. The software in the ports collection includes all patches necessary to build and run the application on a FreeBSD system. The other type of installation supported by the system is packages , which are software binaries compiled from the ports collection using reasonable defaults.

This is a good method of quickly acquiring software, but it forfeits the level of customization provided by the ports system. You can learn more about how to manage software packages in this guide. This hierarchy contains directories that correspond to port categories, within which are other directories that correspond to individual ports.

Before we begin manipulating any ports, we should ensure that this hierarchy is up-to-date. Forgetting to refresh the ports hierarchy can result in build failures as the ports try to fetch and build files that may not be valid anymore.

We can update the ports tree using a utility called portsnap. This tool queries the FreeBSD ports servers for changes. We can use the stat tool to see the various timestamps associated with the file:. If you see this, it means that you do not have a ports tree initialized on your system.

If this is the case, continue onto the next section to learn how to extract an initial ports tree onto your system using portsnap. We need to remember the timestamp so that we know which updating notes we need to pay attention to after we refresh our ports tree. We can save these to a file in our home directory by typing:. To do this, we will use a tool called portsnap. This is the format that should be used in day-to-day updates of the ports tree.

Once your ports tree is built or updated, you can begin to manage and work with ports on your system. Now that you have an updated ports tree hierarchy on your system, you can begin looking at the software available to you. There are several ways of doing this, each of which has its advantages.

The easiest way of searching for an application is by name using the whereis command. This will search for the command on your system and within the ports tree. If it finds a match, it will return the relevant path info for the application on your system. Typically, if the application is not installed but the search was for a valid port, it will return the path to the port within the ports tree. If the application is installed, it will usually return the path to the executable, the port, and often the man page:.

We can use the path returned if we wish to install this port. This includes the path to the actual installed executable, the man page file for the application, and the location of the port within the ports tree. In the FreeBSD Handbook , the authors also suggest a rather novel way of searching using only the echo command and the built-in structure of the ports tree. In the filesystem, each port is represented by a distinct directory that contains all of the information necessary to build and install the software on the FreeBSD system.

So in the wget example above, we see that the wget command has been categorized within the ftp group. We can exploit this consistent structure through the use of the echo command and wildcards. Since we probably do not know the category the port will exist in, we will replace that directory level with an asterisk.

We can also put these before and after our search term if we want to be more flexible in our matching. So we can search for wget related programs by typing:. This can be a bit more flexible than the whereis command because it does not require an exact match.

This is also the command that is used to build and install ports onto the system, but is more generally a flexible tool that can be used to easily execute complex tasks that have been defined in a config file. To use this functionality, you must first move to the base of the ports tree. This is where the make targets are defined:. The two make targets designed to search the ports tree are search and quicksearch.

These have exactly the same functionality, differing only in their default display. The search target will return information about the name of the port, path in the port tree, a general description and then details about the build including the maintainer email, build dependencies, run dependencies, and the upstream URL.

The quicksearch target only returns the port name, path, and description. Below, you can see the difference in the output of the search and quicksearch targets. The search target includes full information about the matches:. On the other hand, the quicksearch target only displays the essential information about the matches it finds:. It is possible to combine different search types to narrow down the results. For example, if we were to search for the ntop network monitor, we might see results that look like this:.

Here, we can see that most of the results are related to ntop , but we also have a book about learning Python. We can further filter by adding a path specification:.

We can also modify the behavior of the search in a few different ways. Some valid modifiers are:. One further situation that you may come across in your searches is a port that has been moved or deleted.

These results look like this:. If this field is present, but empty, the port has been deleted. Even though these are deleted, they will still show up in your search results. As you can see, all of the entries that had been moved or deleted are now filtered out of our results. Once you have found a port that you wish to install, you can easily download the required files, build the binary, and install it using the make command. To install a port, change to the directory of the port within the port tree.

You can find this location through any of the search methods given above. To demonstrate this, we will be installing a port called portmaster , which we will need later in this guide. First, change to the port location.

The portmaster port is kept in the ports-mgmt category:. We moved it. CentOS 6 packages and allowed Linux application ports to install amd The ionly configuration was only useful for. A list of dependent packages can be.
