Building Ports as a User

New page

I began using FreeBSD upon starting employment at CipherTrust (later Secure Computing and now McAfeee). Coming from ~8 years of [[Linux]] background, FreeBSD represented all of unpleasant surprises, interesting new solutions, and my first real new exploration through the UNIX/POSIXverse.

==Building Ports as a User==
Read the [http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=ports&apropos=0&sektion=0&manpath=FreeBSD+7.0-RELEASE&format=html ports(7)] man page. Unfortunately, that doesn't appear to document the [http://markmail.org/message/2u7cgdw5clfcrn44 INSTALL_AS_USER] or PORT_DBDIR environment variables. There's two ways to do this:
* Replicate a Ports tree (for instance, using the <tt>[[Updating FreeBSD#portsnap|portsnap]]</tt> tool with the <tt>-d</tt> and <tt>-p</tt> flags) of your own, and export <tt>PORTSDIR</tt> to point there. If you intend to do this, it's a good idea to copy and modify <tt>portsnap.conf</tt>; this can be specified to <tt>portsnap</tt> via the <tt>-f</tt> flag.
