1. We start our newly-remodeled tour at - http://developer.kde.org/build/compile_cvs.html a. "To compile KDE you need: Qt 3.0.4 or greater" we scroll down to... b. "You can find the Qt library (version 3.0.4) at ftp://ftp.trolltech.com/qt/source/"; c. So we click over to /qt/source/ and even /qt/ and find 0 files! d. Finally we try typing `pkg_add -r qt-x11-3.0.4` and are told: Error: FTP Unable to get ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-4-stable/Latest/qt-x11-3.0.4.tgz: File unavailable (e.g., file not found, no access) e. So let's skip Qt for now and try our first stint at CVSupping!
2. Okay we're ready for step/stop #2 - http://developer.kde.org/source/anoncvs.html a. Well-written, let's follow it step for step b. `cat > ~/.cvsrc` cvs -z4 -q diff -u3 -p update -dP checkout -P ^D c. `export CVSROOT=:pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/home/kde` doesn't work but `setenv CVSROOT=:pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/home/kde` does! d. Next, we try the following but get stuck and require the list's help! # cvs login Logging in to :pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:2401/home/kde CVS password: cvs login: failed to open /root/.cvspass for reading: No such file or directory cvs [login aborted]: fatal error: exiting # man 1 cvs | col -b | grep -i cvspass e. What's a ~/.cvspass file and why do I need one? Thanks. f. PS when I cd to /usr/src and do `ls -al` there is nata, nothing. -- Peter Leftwich President & Founder Video2Video Services Box 13692, La Jolla, CA, 92039 USA +1-413-403-9555 To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
