Guys. How can i learn Makfile syntax? I use FreeBSD.

Reading makefiles from ports is how I started learning it. Nowadays I usually go to the man page of make, and also have a copy of Managing Projects with make, 2nd Edition from O'Reilly around the desk.

OH thanks.

The book name is "Managing Projects with gmake" ? or not gmake?

Make, not gmake. I guess there are several editions

book's ISBN 13 is 9780937175903

Authors of the above book are: Yes?

I guess yes. Thanks.

They are, yes

Thanks man.

Hello and welcome @dta90

Thanks

I installed FreeBSD in my Laptop, but no wifi interfaces are available how can i fix it

tbh you should've check if yours are supported under FreeBSD prior to installing it

Which WiFi card does the laptop have? Do a quick $ pciconf -lv

Realtek RTL8723BE

I can connect internet with usb tethering btw

Tricky chip hehe

Overall, which BSD is more close to gentoo?

If you didn't know, gentoo is heavily source based

If you didn't know, gentoo is heavily source based

I think NetBSD.

I am not sure.

just type bsdconfig

@n0madcoder which of the bsd's has something similar to gentoo's USE flags?

USE flags are basically global dependency variables

From gentoos wiki: USE flags are keywords that embody support and dependency-information for a certain concept.

There's a little misunderstanding here. Gentoo was built around portage, that was inspired by FreeBSD ports.

@n0madcoder which of the bsd's has something similar to gentoo's USE flags?

To my understanding, Gentoo is the distro most similar to FreeBSD

Generally in any BSD you would be able to compile whole system and all packages, and configure them the way you want, adding or dropping deps.

Slackware is similar to BSDs too

I never tried Gentoo, since I left the Linux world to jump straight into BSD land, but if I have to go back to Linux I guess I'll try it

Do you have a link for that part of the Wiki or an example?

A bit off topic but here you have new Githubs Copilot AI copy-pasting Quake's code (:

Do you have a link for that part of the Wiki or an example?

https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Handbook:AMD64/Working/USE

In the USE variable users define keywords which are mapped onto compile-options. For instance, ssl will compile SSL support in the programs that support it. -X will remove X-server support (note the minus sign in front). gnome gtk -kde -qt4 -qt5 will compile programs with GNOME (and GTK+) support, and not with KDE (and Qt) support, making the system fully tweaked for GNOME (if the architecture supports it).

These USE variables are applied to all packages

Copyght infringement in 3.. 2..

Instead of manually configuring each package individually

Yes, but my guess is you have to specify dependency variables manually for each package, instead on setting one globally that applies to all packages?

Sounds cool. Never looked at them, or at least I never paid attention to it. I don't know if FreeBSD does make use of them. I'm checking

There's a: - batch mode - ability to copy/paste/edit current configuration

These USE variables are applied to all packages

Yes it has. I'm looking at a Makefile rightnow

- make flags that can force options

Seems to hehe

Yes it has. I'm looking at a Makefile rightnow

Let me guess how can I upload a file in telegram-cli

@solaris557 looks like line 14

@solaris557 looks like line 14

This? USES= cmake compiler:c++17-lang localbase

This? USES= cmake compiler:c++17-lang localbase

It's the most similar thing to your example I can see in the Makefile yep

Seems to hehe

This actually spawns a question whether generated or "suggested" code should apply some licenses to the stuff you wright, and whether you can select what are acceptable licenses for your project so you wouldn't make it a garbage bin.

No, not USES: https://forums.freebsd.org/threads/how-to-manage-options-easily-and-globally.54508/

Keep in mind that like 95% to 97% of port options are actually unique and only apply to a port or two. Plus some port might fail to build with some OPTIONS combo.

For me it's a rule of thumb to leave everything like it was by default unless I'm completely sure want I want to change.

Here goes demons :D.

It's going to be a thin line between legal suggested content and what not I guess

Legal thin line before FSF sues GitHub for giving companies legal reasons to copy their code.

Oh, I see. Well the Makefile I sent is untouched from ports but I guess it only applies to specific port. are we talking about FreeBSD using them, or us as devs can make use of the flag?

Indeed

Well, I had a feeling that was an enduser question about how to globally configure some stuff while building ports for personal use.

I don't think that applies to devs or porters.

What's the deal with this I'm confused

That's GitHub AI that suggests code while you are writing it. In this example it "suggested" whole function including legal notice. But you probably could skip license and go on with the code...

Oh cool. Then the correct way would be using /etc/make.conf ?

Yes, this is BSD make configuration files that is added to each port build. You can change compiler, play with options etc.

@triggereddotnet you use netbsd as desktop?

Guys, do you have any Idea for launch TLauncher in FreeBSD? I have this errors. Already installed openjdk 16 and 8

Oh okay then. I'm waiting for your helps

are you sure that you can run it ?

wtf
