$NetBSD: README.FreeBSD,v 1.12 2024/01/29 23:54:33 gutteridge Exp $ Please read the general README file as well. Currently bootstrap is only supported using the compiler shipped in base and not a version of GCC installed from ports, and clang from ports is untested. bootstrap-pkgsrc has been tested on FreeBSD 12-14. For unprivileged bootstraps, note that on FreeBSD prior to 14 /home is a symlink to /usr/home. Use --unprivileged --prefix /usr/home/youruser. On legacy releases (9.3 and prior), care should be taken so that the tools installed by this kit do not conflict with the tools already provided as part of the FreeBSD userland. If you do not intend to use the FreeBSD ports tools (on 9.3 and prior), it may be a good idea to move them out of the way to avoid confusion, e.g.: cd /usr/sbin mv pkg_add pkg_add.orig mv pkg_create pkg_create.orig mv pkg_delete pkg_delete.orig mv pkg_info pkg_info.orig Alternatively, take care to get pkgsrc tools first in PATH. This is not an issue with releases of FreeBSD which solely support pkgng such as 10.0-RELEASE and newer.
