Well I recently got a free shell from shellmix.com , so i decided to try it out, its FreeBSD one. I tried installing BYOND there but when i input..

cd byond
make install

it says:

if [ ! -d /homex2/kippylemon/byond ]; then mkdir /homex2/kippylemon/byond; fi
cp -R cfg bin man /homex2/kippylemon/byond
cp: /homex2/kippylemon/byond/man and man are identical (not copied).
cp: /homex2/kippylemon/byond/bin and bin are identical (not copied).
cp: /homex2/kippylemon/byond/cfg and cfg are identical (not copied).
*** Error code 1

Stop in /homex2/kippylemon/byond.

when i tried make here:
make: illegal option -- -
usage: make [-BPSXeiknpqrstv] [-C directory] [-D variable]
[-d flags] [-E variable] [-f makefile] [-I directory]
[-j max_jobs] [-m directory] [-V variable]
[variable=value] [target ...]
*** Error code 2

Stop in /homex2/kippylemon/byond.

well any help? Since Itd be hard for me to edit the Makefile since im not familiar with it >:D

Thanks,
Kip
My best guess would be that the shell is programmed to prevent the execution/installation of a certain type of file, which by coincidence BYOND's Linux installation files contain.


That, or from literally interpreting the error message, it's suggesting that the name of the files being installed is identical to another file's name. I don't claim to have extensive knowledge in this sort of field so I'll just link you to the BYOND Linux boys to see if you can get some help from them.

well, im about a year late, but since youre on freeBSD, youre using the wrong make, you need to use gmake (available in ports)

tl;dr gmake here
Even though you are a year late, it's still great to know that freebsd uses gmake.

I ask that moderators do not remove this post as the information is pretty valuable.
;) I moved it here, so I shalln't be removing it.
