Packages no longer in list

Post by sjsepan2 »

I previously installed VSCode (Code-OSS) on GhostBSD (I installed on actual hardware around June 2023 and did updates since) and I just did an VirtualBox install with 2024.04.1, and vscode is not in the package list.
Is this related to the pkgbase tasks, or is it a transition thing as the port itself is updated? (I have 1.88.1 on the other installation, but the freshports shows 1.90.2)

the quick and simple answer;

they failed to build for some reason.

Maybe someone more knowledgeable , and in the know, could give a more definitive answer.

There are times when vscode will fail to build and will not show up in GhostBSD's pkg library. When this happens you can install ports and manually install it.

sudo -i
pkg install ports
cd /usr/ports/editors/vscode
make build install

Thanks! Since posting, vscode re-appeared with the last update as v1.90.0.

I decided to see what the build would do, but...
On the final step I get:

Code: Select all

root@sjsepan-ghostbsd /u/p/e/vscode# make build install
make: "/usr/ports/Mk/bsd.port.mk" line 1177: Unable to determine OS version.  Either define OSVERSION, install /usr/include/sys/param.h or define SRC_BASE
.
