Hey, I'm attempting to create a new port for btsh: http://btsh.sourceforge.net/ The website isn't finished yet, but it's a command-line interface for torrent websites.
Anyway, the original .tar.bz2 that the author wrote has no configure script or makefile. All it has is an "INSTALL" script. The INSTALL script prompts for a directory to install to, then copies the proper files over and sets some permissions. I'm wondering how I can create a port out of this. I read the porters handbook and developed a Makefile so far: -------------------- # Ports Makefile for: btsh # Date created: June 26 2008 # Whom: Schiz0 # # $FreeBSD$ # PORTNAME=btsh PORTVERSION=0.1.1 CATEGORIES=net-p2p shells # Eventually the project is moving over to sourceforge MASTER_SITES=http://labgecko.com/btsh/ [EMAIL PROTECTED] COMMENT=BitTorrent SHell BUILD_DEPENDS=bash:${PORTSDIR}/shells/bash BUILD_DEPENDS=wget:${PORTSDIR}/ftp/wget USE_BZIP2=yes NO_INSTALL_MANPAGES=yes .include <bsd.port.mk> -------------------- Basically, I'm wondering how I can do this. Should I set NO_BUILD and HAS_CONFIGURE to prevent FreeBSD from trying to build and configure it itself? Also, is this port in the correct cateorgies? This is not a BitTorrent client, it's just a cli interface to the torrent websites. It lets users read the forums, search for torrents, reply to inbox PMs, etc. This is my first attempt at building a port, so any pointers/suggestions/etc will be extremely helpful.
