pkgin for minix 3.4.0

[Sergio Inacio]

Hello

After compiled minix 3.4.0 386 from git. running the x86_cdimage.sh script. I installed in a Virtualbox guest w/o problems. When I try to run the pkgin its not found.

I also did not find the sources for pkgin. Any help?

Thanks.

Hi,

The official images install pkgin (which is a pkgsrc package, see http://pkgsrc.se/pkgtools/pkgin) as part of the installation process. This requires manually downloading the pkgin package and its dependencies, then bundling them inside the installation media. Bundling pkgin by default won't be done when cross-compiling since it is a manual task. It's also not very documented right now.

Nevertheless, the lower-level pkg_add utility is available out of the box. Supposing you've set up networking, you can install pkgin with the command PKG_PATH=http://minix3.org/pkgsrc/packages/3.4.0/i386/All/ pkg_add pkgin (from memory, I don't have a MINIX system at hand to test it right now).

Thank you for your help.

Yes, the network worked out of the box.

Your memory its 5* ! it worked without any trouble.

Thank you again.
