[solved] netbsd 6.1.5 i386.. cant compile ratpoison - freetype2 issue
I am trying to compile ratpoison from pkgsrc, it breaks with following message, while trying to install libXft (ratpoison dependency)
Code:
Package dependency requirement 'freetype2 >= 21.0.15' could not be satisfied. Package 'freetype2' has version '13.0.7', required version is '>= 21.0.15' Am I missing something obvious? Last edited by billy_bazooka; 5th June 2018 at 01:45 AM. |

I think that has to be an error in pkgsrc.
I browsed the ftp.fr.netbsd.org package repository and only found ratpoisen building in http://ftp.fr.netbsd.org/pub/pkgsrc/....0_2018Q1/All/ The main website (ftp.netbsd.org/pub/pkgsrc/) is down right now. Where to go depends on your goals. Do you want to learn how to fix the problem and commit back to the project or just get NetBSD working on your i386 system? Also be aware that NetBSD policy is only to support the 2 most recent major versions and that 8.0 is RC1. When 8.0 is released, the project historically will no longer support 6.1.5. |

frankly, i would just like to get it working..
its a 512mb i386 somewhat weak (but very usable) machine.. i feel it is counterproductive to put a newer OS on it.. and I love the lack of framebuffer console in 6.1.5... |

I'm running i386 7.1.2 with openchrome video and LXDE but I have 2mb RAM. I also have an older ECS A900 w/ Sis video,512mb RAM running OpenBox/Tint2/Wbar. LXDE was a rainy day experiment and required alot of effort to get it working. On both, I used packages rather than source. On the low end machines, it takes foreever to build applications and my attempt at cross-compiling failed.
If you are willing to use another WM, you should be able to do it. It is also possible to compile a custom 7.1.2 kernel w/ inteldrm/radeondrm removed. |

One could also try the supplied netbsd-LEGACY kernel (example) which supports ISA (vga and PC display) display devices.
Added: Oh, and I forgot, another idea, maybe you can disable the drmkms stuff in boot.cfg. Last edited by IdOp; 4th June 2018 at 02:44 AM. |

whereas /usr/pkg/lib/libfreetype.so.x.y.z, provided by graphics/freetype2@2.9.1 is what you're looking for. Just echo: Code:
