This file is not installed in the same directory as the ohnet(linux-x64)-1.6.1919.zip file. It would have been downloaded to the libext directory under the MinimServer root directory. If it is present there, you need to replace it with the modified version.

But step 10 says "This is necessary because the update-procedure has yet added another updated but incompatible zip-file with a new, higher version-number. " This doesn't seem to happen for me, because the ohnet file in the jail is still exactly the same as the one I copied to it in step 8.

You might be confused because MinimServer, during these upgrades, changes the directory where it stores the zip-files containing the libraries. I think first it's "lib", then "libext" or similar. If you use the "find"-command like given in the instructions, it should be clear for you and no problem. The old version of the lib stays in its place, like you wrote, which is expected.

Quote:So you installed the dependencies using 'make install clean' in portsnap and not using pkg? And you were able to install java? I couldn't get it to work.

Yes, the compilation of the dependencies in the jail worked fine for me. I recommend using the program "portmaster" for that, but it should work with "make install clean", too. Did you update the ports-tree before you tried?

Well for some reason my last reply to this has disappeared. In case you didn't see the last one, thank you all so much for helping me with this. You're right, the problem was that I didn't realize the new ohnet file was being put in a different directory. I thought I had done the find command for zip files and didn't see it, but maybe I was in the wrong directory when I did the search. I replaced the ohnet 1.10 file with the one from the link and it's all working perfectly.

As far as installing the dependencies, yes I had updated the ports-tree before installing java but I still couldn't get it to work. I wasn't aware of the program portmaster, I'll keep that in mind in the future. But it looks like the way I installed them using pkg (e.g. pkg install ffmpeg, etc) works so I don't think I'm going to mess with them any further. Which is good, because none of those pkg installs took more than a minute or two.

Anyway, thanks again for being patient with me and helping me get this figured out. I'm really enjoying being able to stream music without needing my PC to be on.
