Things look quiet here. But I've been doing a lot of blogging at
dan.langille.org because I prefer WordPress now.
Not all my posts there are FreeBSD related.
I am in the midst of migrating The FreeBSD Diary over to WordPress
(and you can read about that here).
Once the migration is completed, I'll move the FreeBSD posts into the
new FreeBSD Diary website.

Shortcut for compiling from CD-ROM
18 March 1999
|
|
|
This section shows you how to make a symbolic link which will make your port building
from CD-ROM much faster. That said, I couldn't make this work. I think perhaps you
also need the port skeltons. But I'm not sure. Good luck You may wish to
refer to the FreeBSD Handbook to see how to install a port
from CD-ROM. |

Changing /etc/make.conf
|
According to the documentation in the handbook (see the link above), I added the
following to /etc/make.conf:
PORTSDIR= /cdrom/ports
DISTDIR= /tmp/distfiles
WRKDIRPREFIX= /tmp
|
|
|
Creating the link
|
# mkdir /usr/ports
# cd /usr/ports
# mount /cdrom
# ln -s /cdrom/ports/distfiles distfiles
Now all you need to do to build a port is:
# mount /cdrom
# cd /usr/ports/net/isc-dhcp2
# make
# make install
