Installing FreeBSD (part 2)

OK ... pkg_add finished his job, now I just did a pkg_add -r xfce, and I am able to have a running window manager !

Next task is to get a working qt4, so it looks like there is no such thing in the precompiled library. So I downloaded the port archive (a big tarball that you can get from http://www.freebsd.org/ports/installing.html).

pkg_add -r wget
cd /usr/
wget ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/ports/ports.tar.gz
gunzip < ports.tar.gz | tar xf -

Now on to compile Qt ! (that might take some time on my old Pentium-3 666 MHz).

cd /usr/ports/x11-toolkits/qt4-gui/
make install clean

... wait some time ...
And it does not work !
Seems like I have to upgrade my Xorg, to match the one used by the port manager to build qt4. So I downloaded the sources from Trolltech and worked with it ...
