How to Compile Source from FreeBSD Ports
Posted: Thu Aug 14, 2014 9:23 pm
Hello,
I never compiled anything under FreeBSD before. A software package is no longer maintained on the current version of FreeBSD that I am interested in. ARANYM. (An Atari 16/32 bit computer Virtual Machine Environment) I downloaded the source from Sourceforge.net for the proper version of the software ( aranym-0.7.0.tar.gz) and I downloaded the FreeBSD Port (aranym-0.7.0-FreeBSD-port.tgz). I unpacked the port in my Downloads folder. When I type 'make' I get the following :
aranym-0.7.0 depends on file: /usr/local/sbin/pkg - found
=> aranym-0.7.0.tar.gz is not in /home/fmh/Downloads/aranym-0.7.0-FreeBSD-port/emulators/aranym/distinfo.
=> Either /home/fmh/Downloads/aranym-0.7.0-FreeBSD-port/emulators/aranym/distinfo is out of date, or
=> aranym-0.7.0.tar.gz is spelled incorrectly.
*** Error code 1
Stop.
make: stopped in /home/fmh/Downloads/aranym-0.7.0-FreeBSD-port/emulators/aranym
The port is about 10 years old. I just want to see if I can get it to compile and run. Where do I put the aranym-0.7.0.tar.gz file so the MakeFile files finds it?
