Here is how to install i386 binaries (please choose an OpenBSD mirror near you…and please buy a t-shirt):
sudo su #for ksh/bash export PKG_PATH="ftp://ftp3.usa.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/4.2/packages/i386" #or, for tcsh: setenv PKG_PATH=ftp://ftp3.usa.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/4.2/packages/i386 # Now for Ruby pkg_add "http://rubyforge.org/frs/download.php/32289/ruby-1.8.6.111.tgz" # Optional, but Recommend for Rails pkg_add "http://rubyforge.org/frs/download.php/32290/ruby-gems-1.0.1.tgz" pkg_add "http://rubyforge.org/frs/download.php/32291/ruby-iconv-1.8.6.111.tgz" # Now you could install rails if you wanted: gem install rails |
Rubyforge doesn’t allow you to have the same filename, even if it is in a different sub-package and release. Therefore, amd64 and sparc64 binaries are distributed directly from MyUtil.com.
For AMD64 (which runs in IA64 of course):sudo su export PKG_PATH="http://myutil.com/ports/4.2/amd64/:ftp://ftp3.usa.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/4.2/packages/amd64/" # or, setenv PKG_PATH "http://myutil.com/ports/4.2/amd64/:ftp://ftp3.usa.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/4.2/packages/amd64/" pkg_add ruby-1.8.6.111 ruby-iconv-1.8.6.111 ruby-gems-1.0.1 # Perhaps Ruby-On-Rails: gem install rails |
sudo su export PKG_PATH="http://myutil.com/ports/4.2/sparc64/:ftp://ftp3.usa.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/4.2/packages/sparc64/" # or, setenv PKG_PATH "http://myutil.com/ports/4.2/sparc64/:ftp://ftp3.usa.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/4.2/packages/sparc64/" pkg_add ruby-1.8.6.111 ruby-iconv-1.8.6.111 ruby-gems-1.0.1 # Maybe Rails? gem install rails |
Thanks, I find these useful and I hope you do too. I now do all my development from a OpenBSD (patched) Desktop and have made these binaries as secure as possible. All binaries are produced behind pf firewalls.
I have a old Mac Mini I can install macppc and produce binaries…if there is a demand.
