FreeBSD Port: libftdi-0.14_1

2010-01-04 Thread Steve Franks
Hi, It seems our libftdi is several versions behind (current is 0.17). I'm no expert, but I got 0.17 to build by adding the following to /usr/ports/devel/libftdi/Makefile: WITH_BOOST=yes CONFIGURE_ARGS+=--with-boost=/usr/local/include/boost CFLAGS+=-I${LOCALBASE}/include -L${LOCALBAS

looking for port to clone that pulls code from git repo

2010-01-04 Thread Steve Franks
I've got a project to port that doesn't do releases, just puts out the git. I know we've got alot of ports that pull strait from cvs or svn, is there a good corresponding example for git? Thanks, Steve ___ freebsd-ports@freebsd.org mailing list http://l

I presume Florent's preferred method is "INSTALL_PROGRAM"? So far, the only doc I've found is that it exists. So I put INSTALL_PROGRAM $(WORKDIR)/$(PORTNAME) (portname just happens to be the name of the executable) in the port Makefile, or what? I've never been able to 'read' makefiles, so I'm n

correct convention for a misnamed dist file on sourceforge?

If a distfile on sourceforge is lpc21isp.1.63.tar.gz instead of lpc21isp-1.63.tar.gz, how do I tweak the port makefile to pull it in? Thanks, Steve ___ freebsd-ports@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsu

2008-11-04 Thread Steve Franks
Bruce, I've been playing with your makefile for openocd. Awhile back I was told that the *right* way to do this as a real port was to get the svn, make a tgz in distfiles, and then build the port from that. Looks like you did the svn->distfiles part manually in your origonal makefile, right? I w

textproc/flex (/usr/local/bin/flex) shadowed by /usr/bin/flex after install

2008-10-07 Thread Steve Franks
In maintaining devel/urjtag, I've added a dependancy to textproc/flex. On some systems, however, I've found that when textproc/flex gets installed, it lands in /usr/local/bin, as expected, but there's a /usr/bin/flex which precedes it in the path - is there a canonical way to resolve this? I've j

Making ports from source with weird download restrictions

2008-09-08 Thread Steve Franks
Hi, There are two embedded software tools I've been wanting to port for some time. Both have inconsistent/funky downloads, so I have no idea how to get them into a port. Both are very active projects, and used by pretty much all embedded ARM7/9 developers (embedded as in microwaves & thermostats

ports/astro/googleearth - only4archs=i386?

2008-08-28 Thread Steve Franks
I *think* (and I'm no guru) that googleearth needs the ONLYFORARCHS=i386 flag set. I can't for the life of me get it to run on amd64 with either linux_base-fc4 or base-f7 - it installs, but complains about missing libGL.so.1: ./googleearth-bin: error while loading shared libraries: libGL.so.1

libSDL, portupgrade, and qemu

2008-08-06 Thread Steve Franks
I thought someone would want to know a "portupgrade -a" just broke my qemu installation. Suddenly no libSDL.so.11 was found so qemu wouldn't start. I was smart enough to link libSDL-1.2.so.11 to libSDL.so.11 in /usr/local/lib, so I have no issues, but I suspect this reflects some kid of failed de

I proposed some changes to ezload in march. I've not heard from the maintainer or author, and the download site is offline today. ezload is important because it loads firmware on usb devices, many of which are fairly common. unfortunately, support for newer (< 3-4 years old) devices still has no

I'm trying to build the devel/arm-elf-gcc295 port for the more modern gcc4.2.3. What I've done: edited devel/arm-elf-gcc295/Makefile to change version 2.95 to 4.2.3, removed patches for v295, ran make makesum, ran "make". This error seems like something pretty obvious, not having done it before,
