Re: set : illegal option -o pipefail error while trying to upgrade pkg.

Thanks.

You gave me the instructions about how to upgrade pkg on FreeBSD 10 for
armV6 ? This will be useful when I will install FreeBSD 10.04 (but I see
that I can even install 12.04) on my Chromebook. But at the moment I'm
trying to compile the only revision which allows to install FreeBSD on the
Chromebook :


# svnlite co http://svn.freebsd.org/base/head@269385 /usr/src

directly on my old Intel I5 CPU PC,where I have installed FreeBSD 10.4 x64 bit.

So,I would need to understand how to fix the pipefail error necessary
to upgrade pkg

and to install xfce4 as well as some other useful ports.

The idea of using the sh statically linked didn't work. I get a lot of
errors and

I doubt that I can fix them.


Thanks.
