installing X11

[hirohitosan]

Hi there. I'm new in FreeBSD and I try to install X server. Can you give me some suggestions. First I tried to install by port but some packages are missing. What ports I need for x11, or how to install all ports needed for x11.

Many thanks

cd /usr/ports/x11/xorg
make install

well I already try this but I had an error
checking for APPRES... gnome-config: not found
configure: error: Package requirements (x11 xt) were not met.
Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you
installed software in a non-standard prefix.

Alternatively you may set the APPRES_CFLAGS and APPRES_LIBS environment variables
to avoid the need to call pkg-config. See the pkg-config man page for
more details.
===> Script "configure" failed unexpectedly.
Please report the problem to x11@FreeBSD.org [maintainer] and attach the
"/usr/ports/x11/appres/work/appres-1.0.1/config.log" including the output of
the failure of your make command. Also, it might be a good idea to provide
an overview of all packages installed on your system (e.g. an `ls
/var/db/pkg`).

Alright, so the error tells you exactly what to do :-)

In the mean time, if you want xorg, you could try 'sudo pkg_add -r xorg' and it will install it from packages instead of ports.
