Problems with ports

ogogon

Colleagues, what are the specifics of working with ports on this platform?

Not finding the /usr/ports directory, I did the same as on a regular FreeBSD:

pkg update && pkg install portsnap && portsnap fetch extract

After that, I started getting diagnostics like this:

root@test /u/p/m/mc# make
make: "/usr/ports/Mk/bsd.port.mk" line 1162: Unable to determine OS version.  Either define OSVERSION, install /usr/include/sys/param.h or define SRC_BASE.

make: stopped in /usr/ports/misc/mc
root@test /u/p/m/mc [1]#

Did I do something wrong?

Ogogon.

Welcome to GhostBSD.

Yes, you did. GhostBSD does not use FreeBSD ports. To use ports, use the command

pkg install ports

Neville

Then to use them install the following

pkg install -g 'GhostBSD*-dev'

See the post below
pkg install -g 'GhostBSD*-dev'

With a trailing '

pkg install -g 'GhostBSD*-dev'

Thanks
