[Cialug] [tclug-list] Project Trident

[Brian Wood]

Dear Iowa,

Twin Cities users so far haven't been able to help me
with the following.  I've done a little more research on
one of the problems I mention below and think what I
guessed about there being a development package
that I need to install is probably right.   But I still don't
know what the name of it is.  My biggest problem is
not getting anything from pkg search.  Thanks a lot.

pkg search

like I usually can when using TrueOS or FreeBSD.   I got vim, emacs and gcc
installed, but not clang.   It doesn't find clang in the repositories when
I type: pkg install clang.
When I try to build with gcc, I get:
fatal error: string.h: No such file or directory.

Maybe there's a development package I need to install, but I'm not
sure what the name of it is.  There are some things I like about Trident,
so I hope I can figure out how to solve these problems.   Thanks for
letting me know about this.
