Problem at Shell Installation.

I have bought a shell on http://amdwebhost.com

I tried to run the command 'make here'
But an error occured:
[Fushi@picobsd:~/byond] $ 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 /usr/home/Fushi/byond.


I cannot execute it in Super User mode. I dont think it is the problem though.

I used the FreeBSD package, and the server uses PicoBSD (Search it on google), derivated from FBSD.

I hope this is not some sort of compatibility issue because am just gonna kill myself.

Note: I uploaded the files directly with SmartFTP, already unzipped. Also tried to upload them, unzip from PuTTy, and then execute 'make here'. Still the same error.

Have you chmodded the files/folders or are they already owned by the account you are using make with?

Just to make sure you did download the FreeBSD version of BYOND from here - http://www.byond.com/download/ - right?

They might seem like stupid questions but you haven't provided much information.

http://www.finkproject.org/faq/comp-general.php

then you've replaced the GNU version of the make utility installed as part of the Developer Tools with a BSD version of make. Many packages rely on special features only supported by GNU make. Make sure that /usr/bin/make is a symlink to gnumake, not bsdmake. Furthermore, make sure that /usr/local/bin/ does not contain another copy of make.

This may help though I am unsure I've never touched FreeBSD.

To my ignorance, the problem was that FreeBSD uses 'gmake' instead of 'make'.
Also now I got another problem when running DD as follows:

Shared object "libbyond.so" not found, required by "DreamDaemon"


I checked by myself and the file exists, in the correct directory.
Somehow it cannot access the file, and yet it has the correct CHMOD values. (6777)
Any clue?

Are you on 64bit by any chance?

Also you can download some .so files (you may need later on) here - http://www.byond.com/download/build/gcc/

They don't even list RAM?, just "backgrounds" which would be programs running in the background I assume.

Yeah, lol.
Someone told me it was good, but I just wasted my time.
Btw, ByondPanel is the best choice. :)

I can't help but notice that you did the local installation ('make here'). Just to make sure, you did run the 'source' command before attempting to run DreamDaemon, correct?

The correct way to use this on a FreeBSD shell is 'gmake' and not 'make'.

'gmake here'
'gmake install'

As Audeuro said, source needs to be set too.
