Why are you NOT using FreeBSD --> an example

[Erich]

Hi,

I placed FreeBSD 10 on an empty disk and downloaded then the ports tree from yesterday.

/etc/make/conf looks like this:

# Uncomment this if you want to do port builds with no interaction
#BATCH=yes

# Keep KDE4 in /usr/local, fixes sharing of icons / mime and others
KDE4_PREFIX=/usr/local
# added by use.perl 2012-01-05 20:44:40
PERL_VERSION=5.12.4
#
# 12.06.12 ed: added to support new Intel KMS.
#
WITH_NEW_XORG=true

All the rest is plain default.

One thing I have to mention as it might is the cause. I used PCBSD to get FreeBSD onto the machine and upgraded then via sources to 10.

I extra did not do anything else as I wanted to show how newcomers who just follow 'official' documentation hit a wall during this procedurefree.

I used this page to get information for installing X with Intel KMS support:

http://wiki.freebsd.org/Intel_GPU

Here is the current status:

Ports tree downloaded during the day 12.06.12

Installation of Joe.

Joe is always the first port I install as I am used to its commands. I then download and compile other ports. As I am currently on a low-bandwidth Internet connection, I try to keep the machine busy during the night with large downloads.

Parallel downloading and compilation of scribus and xorg-server

This error came from compiling scribus while xorg was still downloading:

We started to compile xorg-server after the download was finished.

There was this error message then:

Requested 'dri >= 7.8.0' but version of dri is 7.6.1

Obviously, an old version was kept in the ports.

Later KDE4 failed with

How can we help newcomers to avoid this kind of problems?
