      Keep an eye on the tools repo commit log:

      https://rcs.pfsense.org/projects/pfsense-tools

      dnsmasq is being worked on right now.

      The person making the changes for php52 might not finish up until Monday, they went home early to watch the world cup match. :-)

        Everything may be OK now. Be sure to update your ports tree, then the git repos, then build_pfPorts.sh.

          Hi Jimp,
          looks like the errors are still there:
          Here's what I did:
                  # cd /home/pfsense/tools/builder_scripts

          ./set_version.sh RELENG_8_1 cvsup4.us.freebsd.org (or cvsup.livebsd.org)

          ./clean_build.sh

          ./update_git_repos.sh

          ./apply_kernel_patches.sh

          ./build_pfPorts.sh

          cd /home/pfsense/tools/builder_scripts

          ./build_iso.sh

          Not sure if the build_pfPorts.sh was in the right spot…

          Here are the errors I get in the build-iso.sh script.
          I'm getting a lot more errors at the earlier stages of the build-iso.sh
          But, the build doesn't terminate until the very end when (it looks like) fails on dfuife_curses...

            Another dev and I have been making quite a lot of changes to the builder code over the weekend, polishing things up.

            I don't see any reason why those other ports would have failed. They all work OK for me now, both on x86 and amd64.

            # portsnap fetch && portsnap extract  (Or update ports by csup, however you normally do it)
              # cd /home/pfsense/tools/builder_scripts
              # ./update_git_repos.sh
              # ./clean_build.sh (Not really necessary most of the time, but shouldn't hurt, just adds time)
              # ./set_version.sh RELENG_8_1 cvsup4.us.freebsd.org (or cvsup.livebsd.org)   (Not needed except for the first run, really)
              # ./apply_kernel_patches.sh
              # ./build_pfPorts.sh (Actually build_iso.sh will run this, no need to do it on its own unless you are testing)
              # ./build_iso.sh

              Thanks Jimp,
              I'll give it another try… Hopefully I can get it to work!

                I'm not getting errors at the build ports phase but the build stops at the dfuife_part as well:

                Checking BSDInstaller health… dfuife_curses missing [ERROR!]

                Question, is it necessary to build and install any of the standard ports in /usr/ports before running build_iso.sh?

                  Ideally, no, but in the past it has been necessary to build at least PHP on the builder box (and more recently the pfSense PHP module).

                  Have you updated the git repos and done a full build today? I thought someone committed a fix for curses over the weekend.

                    HI Jimp,

                    well the good news is that it went through your listed steps as you outlined earlier cleanly this time!

                    (except this…
                    src/NetworkInterfaces.c:54:47: error: linux/if_ether.h: No such file or directory
                    src/NetworkInterfaces.c:55:92: error: linux/if_packet.h: No such file or directory
                    src/NetworkInterfaces.c:56:46: error: linux/if_tun.h: No such file or directory
                    )

                    So, it is the cleanest build so far...

                    But, I still got the dfuife_curses error at the very end:

                    Checking BSDInstaller health... dfuife_curses missing [ERROR!]

                    Everything else is clean!
                    How are you getting dfuife_curses to build?
                    Are you building manually?
                    I also set environment variable force-pkg-register
                        #> setenv FORCE_PKG_REGISTER

                    Not sure if that helped with the cleaner build…
                    But looks like the ISO still isn't going to be generated until I solve the dfuife_curses issue.

                    regards

                      )

                      That's harmless

                      I'm not sure why that is still failing. You might try to rm -rf /usr/local/pfsense-clone/ and then run the build again.

                      That, or:

                      cd /usr/home/pfsense/tools/builder_scripts/installer/ports/sysutils/dfuife_curses

                      make install clean

                      And then redo the build.

                          Hi Jimp,

                          i think there was a typo in the directory - but will ask just in case.
                          I cd /usr/home/pfsense/installer/ports/sysutils/dfuife_curses.

                          here's what I get when I try to make install clean…

                          freebsd81rc1386# make install clean
                          ===>  Vulnerability check disabled, database not found
                          ===>  License check disabled, port has not defined LICENSE

                          Distfile dfuife_curses-1.5.1.tar.gz not found!

                          This is an 'INTERNAL' port, meaning that the distfile is not retrieved
                          from the Internet, but rather created from a local checkout of the
                          BSD Installer CVS repository.  Please see the shell scripts in the
                          scripts/build directory of the repository for more information on how
                          to create these distfiles.
                          *** Error code 1

                          Stop in /usr/home/pfsense/installer/ports/sysutils/dfuife_curses.

                            Hi Jimp,

                            1 more…
                            I tried to remove the dir pfsense-clone - but didn't find it.
                            I assume that is now called pfsense-fs?

                              It may be removed as part of the build process…

                              Then try this from the builder_scripts dir:

                              ./rebuild_bsdinstaller.sh

                                thanks Jimp,

                                Now that I've isolated it down to 1 issue (dfuife_curses)…
                                I was wondering - how can I test whether it will fail on dfuife_curses first before trying to run build-iso.sh?

                                that way I can save a good 1+ hours on building beforehand...

                                Any tricks?

                                regards

                                  The test is:

                                  if [ ! -f "$PFSENSEBASEDIR/usr/local/sbin/dfuife_curses" ]; then
                                  

                                  And $PFSENSEBASEDIR is usually /usr/local/pfsense-fs, so look for:

                                  /usr/local/pfsense-fs/usr/local/sbin/dfuife_curses

                                    that did it! 
                                    here's what I did:

                                    #> rm -fr /usr/local/pfsense-fs
                                    #> ./rebuild_bsdinstaller.sh
                                    #> ./build-iso.sh

                                    thanks for all your outstanding support!  You were very responsive!
                                    Hopefully now I can make the customizations I need to make… :-)

                                    regards

                                      Gonna bump this thread.. Trying to build a pfsense ISO and getting a ton of patch rejections.

                                      My pfsense-build.conf was generated using set_version HEAD.  I added the date line in the 8.1 supfile (even though the date is before the 8.1 release?)

                                      Attached are my pfsense-build.conf and build log.  I looked at some of the rejections and some of the patches seem like they are for a completely different source tree

                                      pfsense-build.conf.txt
                                      log.txt

                                        It should be building against RELENG_8_1 with no date= line.

                                          Actually tried that first, outputs the same rejection errors.

                                            make sure the supfile being used actually references RELENG_8_1 and has no date line, don't trust the name of the file.
