I'm starting using synth, never used it before. I get this error: # synth build net/mpich Error opening terminal: xterm.
as a regular user open xterm then do the fololwing su - synth just-build /net/mpich or if you have doas and doas configured then doas synth just-build net/mpich
I'm supposed to run synth as root, right? Is synth trying to open another xterm as root? I've never allowed root access to a display: # xterm Warning: This program is an suid-root program or is being run by the root user. The full text of the error or warning message cannot be safely formatted in this environment. You may get a more descriptive message by running the program as a non-root user or by removing the suid bit on the executable. xterm: Xt error: Can't open display: %s xterm: DISPLAY is not set Am I wrong?
I run synth from a non-root account using sh and a script that uses doas I am going to put all my scripts on github when I get the time. _______________________________________________ freebsd-ports@freebsd.org mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-ports-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
