[solved] build qrencode as BSD port

[ole]

Hello OPNsense friends,

for a self written script I require qrencode. I installed the opnsense tools and ports and found:

Code Select Expand


/usr/ports/graphics/qr-code-generator


but failed to compile it:

Code Select Expand


sudo make install
===>   qr-code-generator-1.6.0 depends on package: gmake>=4.3 - found

Stop.
make: stopped in /usr/ports/graphics/qr-code-generator


Before, I compiled and build htop successfully, which was quite easy. So, what is the way to compile/install this? My first attempt was to compile py-qrencode, but it will install a lot of other and therefore unwanted tools! Hence I ^C the build ....

Finally I only want to call

Code Select Expand


echo "Foo Bar" | qrencode -t ANSIUTF8


to get my QR Code.

libqrencode and install the missing packages via pkg install ... solved it. I could swear htop got the tools by its own build process ...
