To try to get pkgsrc working on your system, please try the following
as root:
2007-10-09 21:19:08 +02:00
# ./bootstrap
[ --workdir <workdir> ]
[ --prefix <prefix> ]
[ --pkgdbdir <pkgdbdir> ]
[ --sysconfdir <sysconfdir> ]
2005-08-19 18:12:14 +02:00
[ --varbase <varbase> ]
[ --ignore-case-check ]
[ --ignore-user-check ]
[ --preserve-path ]
[ --help ]
The defaults for the arguments are as follows:
--prefix /usr/pkg
--pkgdbdir /var/db/pkg
2004-04-12 02:38:55 +02:00
--sysconfdir /usr/pkg/etc
2005-08-19 18:12:14 +02:00
--varbase /var
2004-04-12 02:38:55 +02:00
--workdir work
It is perfectly acceptable to place 'pkgdbdir' under 'prefix'.

The working directory will be created if it doesn't exist and has to be
writable by the user executing ./bootstrap.
Make sure that you have a working C compiler and make(1) binary in
your path. Please note that on some systems (IRIX and SunOS, for example),
the bootstrap script will look into a number of common directories for
alternative implementations of some tools. If they are found, these
directories will be prepended to the PATH variable, unless the
'--preserve-path' flag is given.
See pkgsrc/doc/pkgsrc.txt or
http://www.netbsd.org/docs/software/packages.html for
more information about bootstrapping and using pkgsrc.
We'd be very interested in hearing of any successes or failures on
"unknown" (to us) systems.
Please remember to add $prefix/bin to your PATH environment variable
and $prefix/man to your MANPATH environment variable, if necessary.
(See above for --prefix and its default value.)
The bootstrap script will create an example mk.conf file located
2006-09-18 15:27:15 +02:00
in your work directory as "mk.conf.example". It contains the
settings you provided to the bootstrap. Copy it to your
$sysconfdir directory (see above about --sysconfdir and its default
value). If the default mk.conf doesn't already exist, the example is
copied into place.
