I want to compile a source file under /usr/pkgsrc.
My newly installed netbsd 2.0.2 box at office is behind a proxy requiring
userid & passwd authentication to reach the internet. With freebsd to
download the ports I use a FETCH_ENV variable defined in make.conf with the
two lines:
FETCH_ENV = HTTP_PROXY=http://userid:passwd@proxy.myco:8080
FETCH_ENV = FTP_PROXY=http://userid:passwd@proxy.myco:8080
Now, under netbsd I read the "man mk.conf" but it didn't seem possible to
define anything similar; so I tried as root the following:
set env http_proxy http://userid:passwd@proxy.myco:8080
set env ftp_proxy http://userid:passwd@proxy.myco:8080
to no avail!
When I try to "make" a package under /usr/pkgsrc it is simply unable to
download it because it doesn't go beyond the proxy.
Could you please help me.
