The ol’ college try

So I have given b2 a good shake and it seems pretty solid. I don’t think i can have one post in multiple categories, but that isn’t essential. It is pretty simple .php & MySQL and I could tinker around underneath the hood all day and then go and customize the .css to change what it looks like.

But I feel like I would be shortchanging myself if i didn’t at least try the Movable Type system, so here goes….

Postinstall adjustment is needed at the fist time. The following list is
some PERL modules needed for running MT, you can also install them from
FreeBSD ports:

HTML::Template is from www/p5-HTML-Template
Image::Size is from graphics/p5-Image-Size
File::Spec is from devel/p5-File-Spec
CGI::Cookie is from www/p5-CGI.pm
LWP::UserAgent is from www/p5-libwww
SOAP::Lite is from net/p5-SOAP-Lite
File::Temp is form devel/p5-File-Temp

DB Modules are depend on your choice.

To upgrade a previous verion of MT: Do NOT do this from FreeBSD ports
structure! Instead, go to download the 'Upgrade Version' file from this
link:

        http://www.movabletype.org/download.shtml
Please read the docs to initialize a blog DB in /usr/local/www/cgi-bin/mt/db

Wow (again). I hate that ImageMagick has X as it’s dependency (if I don’t run X on that box, what does ImageMagick need those libraries for, anyway?). And the Ghostscript drivers I reduced to image formats that I recognized and removed ALL of the printers.

Time to go to bed, I’m going swimming again tomorrow morning. I got up early this morning too. I’m tired!

installing DBD::mysql

need music … there we go: smoothbeats.com playing The Roots. nice :)

now, where was I?

ahh yes, /usr/ports/databases/p5-DBD-mysql …

niagara:/usr/ports/databases/p5-DBD-mysql# make install | tee make-install-output

===> Configuring for p5-DBD-mysql-2.1026_1
I will use the following settings for compiling and testing:

cflags (mysql_config) = -I’/usr/local/include/mysql’
libs (mysql_config) = -L/usr/local/lib/mysql -lmysqlclient -lz -lcrypt -lm
nocatchstderr (default ) = 0
ssl (guessed ) = 0
testdb (default ) = test
testhost (default ) =
testpassword (default ) =
testuser (default ) =

To change these settings, see ‘perl Makefile.PL –help’ and
‘perldoc INSTALL’.

…ok. that could have been a lot worse.
