Hi there,
I'm new in this forum and quite new with BSD. At the moment, I can't get skype-2.0.0.72,1 working. I have FreeBSD 7.1-RELEASE #0: Thu Jan 1 14:37:25 UTC 2009 root@logan.cse.buffalo.edu:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC i386; with KDE 3.5.10 on Intel D845PESV, P4 2.4 GHz First I just tried to compile skype from ports assuming it would pull in the dependencies, including linux_base. It did, but it took linux_base-fc4 which uses linux kernel 2.4, and skype 2 needs 2.6. So I removed both skype and linux_base-fc4, installed linux_base-f8 and reinstalled skype as explained here: http://const-cast.blogspot.com/2008/...n-freebsd.html Nothing changed. Skype just doesn't start. truss shows these error messages: open("/etc/libmap.conf",O_RDONLY,0666) ERR#2 'No such file or directory' readlink("/etc/malloc.conf",0xbfbfdfe7,1024) ERR#2 'No such file or directory' stat("/var/mail/root",0xbfbfebb8) ERR#2 'No such file or directory' Any suggestions? Thanx in advance... |

You mean "IGNORE= Legacy version, Use net/skype" line in the net/skype12/Makefile? It's not commented.

I have skype-2.0.0.72,1 + linux_base-fc8 installed on FreeBSD 7.1 system - everything is working fine.
Make sure you read /usr/ports/UPDATING - entry 20080318

So it should be okay most of the time, but don't cry if something breaks.

Maybe it has improved a lot very recently, but when I tried f8 nearly all of my linux programs did not work. When I reverted they worked fine again. So YMMV.

Well, I don't follow all the semantics, but it is still listed as f8. It has undoubtedly improved, but my luck a month ago wasn't very good. I did notice the issues with 7.x; I intended to move over once 8.0 hits.
