Hello,
I want to install package inxi.
This package is supplied by port sysutils.

According to documentation I have executed the following steps:

  • opnsense-code ports tools
  • cd /usr/ports/sysutils/inxi
  • make install

Make install is now running for +12hrs, and I don't understand why it takes so much time for compiling a package with a few kB.

Please advise the correct procedure for installation of package inxi.

Welcome to the world of release engineering... take a look at the required package dependencies which in turn probably also have lots of dependencies:

Cheers,
