$NetBSD: README,v 1.3 2004/05/11 02:19:48 schmonz Exp $ To try to get pkgsrc working on your system, please try the following as root: # ./bootstrap [ --prefix=${PREFIX} ] [ --pkgdbdir=${PKGDBDIR} ] \ [ --sysconfdir=${PKG_SYSCONFBASE} ] [ --workdir=working directory] \ [ --ignore-case-check ] [ --ignore-user-check ] [ --help ] The defaults for the arguments are as follows: --prefix /usr/pkg --pkgdbdir /var/db/pkg --sysconfdir /usr/pkg/etc --workdir work It is perfectly acceptable to place ${PKGDBDIR} under ${PREFIX}. The working directory will be created if it doesn't exist and has to be writable by the user executing ./bootstrap. Make sure that you have a working C compiler and make(1) binary in your path. See http://www.netbsd.org/Documentation/software/packages.html for more information about bootstrapping and using pkgsrc. We'd be very interested in hearing of any successes or failures on "unknown" (to us) systems.
