      Never use the ports version or pkg_add. Anything you need is in ports or pfPorts and must be built by the build system.

      # ls -l /usr/sbin/clog
      -r-xr-xr-x  1 root  wheel   8616 Jun 30 15:12 /usr/sbin/clog
      # cd /home/pfsense/tools/builder_scripts; ./build_pfPorts.sh clog
      # ls -l /usr/sbin/clog
      -r-xr-xr-x  1 root  wheel   8616 Aug  5 15:28 /usr/sbin/clog
      

      Looks like the pfPorts build process is building clog and installing it where it should.

      Thanks Jim for this useful pointer. Gradually learning the pfSense way of doing things. Your replies are very useful and helpful.

      @jimp:

      Your BASE_DIR and BUILDER_TOOLS vars have trailing slashes when they shouldn't, but that shouldn't be fatal.

      Removed trailing slashes and compiled, but … :-(

      @jimp:

      As for test_php.php:

      builder_scripts/builder_common.sh:      cp $BUILDER_SCRIPTS/scripts/test_php.php $PFSENSEBASEDIR/
      $ find . -name test_php.php
      ./builder_scripts/scripts/test_php.php
      

      As long as the vars are set right it should pick it up…

      Reset all build environment and then rebuilt after copying the test_php.php to the pfSense base directory (which is /home/pfsense because the build_common.sh already has a line 1087 associated with 'cp $BUILDER_SCRIPTS/scripts/test_php.php $PFSENSEBASEDIR/', yet the compiler spits out the same error. Attaching pruned log file (in txt format) for perusal.

      My builder_common.sh looks like:

      grep -Rn test_php.php builder_common.sh

      1087: cp $BUILDER_SCRIPTS/scripts/test_php.php $PFSENSEBASEDIR/
      1088: chmod a+rx $PFSENSEBASEDIR/test_php.php
      1089: HOSTNAME=env SHELL=/bin/sh chroot $PFSENSEBASEDIR /test_php.php
      1136: rm $PFSENSEBASEDIR/test_php.php

      test_php.php is already there:

      find . -name test_php.php

      ./builder_scripts/scripts/test_php.php

      Actually I need only NanoBSD images. Thanks again for your cooperation!

        Hi:

        This seems to be an unending compiling process with the same test_php.php chroot error:

        Testing PHP installation in /usr/local/pfsense-fs:chroot: /test_php.php: No such file or directory

        An error occured while testing the php installation in /usr/local/pfsense-fs

        I have tried to compile NanoBSD image (./build_nano.sh) for more than 50 times with several changes. The last thing I did was replacing $PFSENSEBASEDIR to $PFSENSEBASEDIR/ in line 1089 of builder_common.sh (1089: HOSTNAME=env SHELL=/bin/sh chroot $PFSENSEBASEDIR/ /test_php.php), didn't work. Changed from /test_php.php to ./test_php.php, no go. :-(

        My build environemnt is:

        uname -a

        FreeBSD nano.dev.lan 8.3-RELEASE FreeBSD 8.3-RELEASE #0: Mon Apr  9 21:23:18 UTC 2012    root@mason.cse.buffalo.edu:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC  amd64

        Is there no way that one could compile pfSense images with some kernel tweaks? Or is this a bug? Thanks!

          Did you ever try to build an ISO?

          I just made a completely fresh builder from scratch today (and updated the instructions a little along the way) and it built OK and passed that PHP test with no problems.

          It's building NanoBSD now but I won't know until morning if it completed OK.

            Thansk, Jim for confirmation.

            I could build after some additional steps*** as mentioned below which is not stated in http://devwiki.pfsense.org/DevelopersBootStrapAndDevIso. Kudos to idwer in the IRC channel.

            However, after booting the iso, I kept on getting errors writing configurations:

            1. On bootup:

            Fatal error: Call to undefined function pfSense_interface_listget() in /etc/inc/interfaces.inc on line 66

            2. Therefore, I just used 'dhclient <interface_name>' to get an IP and went well

            3. When I tried to 'Enable Secure Shell (sshd)' by selecting 14 in the console menu:

            Writing configurations…
            Fatal error: Call to undefined function pfSense_sync() in /etc/inc/config.lib.inc on line 468

            Thus, the image is built but seems something went wrong, but could not figure out what?

            ***This is for those who encounter the problems while building an image.

            Use all command line tools to have everything in your command, not menu.sh.

            1. since cvsup is deprecated in FreeBSD to pull sources, use svn:

            cd /usr/ports/devel/subversion && make install clean
            svn co svn://svn0.eu.FreeBSD.org//base/release/8.3.0/ /usr/src/

            1. then the first thing to do after pulling the git repos is:

            cd /home/pfsense/tools/builder_scripts/ && ./build_pfPorts.sh

            It takes adequate time.

            1. Execute:

            ./build_iso.sh

            even though you only need to build NanoBSD image.

            1. Then build NanoBSD image:

            ./build_nano.sh

            And if you want to create a specific sized NanoBSD image, execute:

            ./build_nano_resized.sh

            where <imgsize>could be 512mb, 1g, 2g or 4g.</imgsize></interface_name>

              My nano build worked fine when it finished.

              The pfSense_*() functions missing mean your pfSense PHP module did not build.

              You don't have to manually build pfPorts, that will happen automatically when doing build_iso.sh

              You don't need to use subversion yet, cvsup still works fine for RELENG_8_3 (it doesn't work for the most recent RELENG_9_* and won't work at all for RELENG_10* but older tags are still there)

              And doing build_iso.sh is always best to do first, I will need to remember to add a note for that

                In that case, do I rebuild the image again? Or there is a way to rebuilde pfSense PHP module separately?

                @jimp:

                You don't have to manually build pfPorts, that will happen automatically when doing build_iso.sh

                That is what missing in the documentation that first iso needs to be built before any other images.

                @jimp:

                You don't need to use subversion yet, cvsup still works fine for RELENG_8_3 (it doesn't work for the most recent RELENG_9_* and won't work at all for RELENG_10* but older tags are still there)

                Yes, I tried just to follow latest FreeBSD documenation.

                @jimp:

                And doing build_iso.sh is always best to do first, I will need to remember to add a note for that

                Yes, that would save hours and hours of whining like it happened to me.

                  To fix the module, you can either rebuild all pfPorts, or just the module:

                  ./build_pfPorts.sh php53-pfSense-module
                  

                  If I were you, I'd re-run the full pfPorts build again and make sure none of them fail.

                  The documentation actually already stated to run build_iso.sh it just wasn't forceful about it. Apparently you also missed point #8 on the page

                  8. Other images available for building
                  Once you have a working ISO you can build pretty much any pfSense image listed in the menu system.

                  "Once you have a working ISO…" implies you must first build an ISO before you can move on to other image types. I added some more clarification above in the step that actually says to build the ISO first.

                    Yep, you are right, but it is partially my oversight and partially lack of explicit explanation.

                      For the module, it lists the location of a log in the output. What is in that log?

                        Rebuilt pfPorts completely. Went without errors:

                        Rebuilt iso image without a problem.

                        But when I booted the LiveCD, the php5-related errors were gone, instead got kernel panic as seen in the attachment. :-(

                          I rebuilt everything (hostOS, git repo, src and ports), rebuilt two times once with #MAKE_JOBS_UNSAFE=YES in make.conf and without, but the booting halts at the same point like as shown in the previous screenshot.

                          Is there any secret (that is yet to be divulged) to build a pfSense image with some modificatios in kernel? The problem is really whining me for more than a week!

                            Now what I did was:

                            1. reinstalled FreeBSD-8.3
                              2)```

                              Can you try in a different virtual environment, such as Virtualbox, or on real hardware?

                              There really isn't any secret to it, what you've done is the same as how we build images and they work fine from here.

                              The error you're seeing is in the kernel and not from ports/packages.

                                I tried first in the real hardware which I reported earlier, and now using a qemu virtual instance. I find virtualbox more buggy than qemu.

                                I am just lost.  :o

                                  I tried to build it again in Virtualbox, and after many hours of compiling, the created iso finally landed into the same kernel panic (see attached screenshot) at boottime.:-(

                                  BTW, can you append two EXTRA_DEVICES (epair, if_bridge), two EXTRA_OPTIONS (VIMAGE,NULLFS) and an EXTRA_NOOPTIONS (SCTP) to your pfsense-build.conf and confirm whether it gets built in your machine? Thanks in advance.

                                    Try a completely stock build first. Only when you know that works should you try to customize it.

                                    It is most likely one of your extra options causing the panic. There is a reason we don't include some things, either because the code isn't compatible or because they don't work the way they should with our other changes.

                                      Is there a 'known issues' regarding the kernel modules that are not compatible, and therefore, not included with the pfSense 2.1? It would be nice to know rather than frustratingly trying to compile image without success.

                                      Thanks!

                                        We don't have a list that I'm aware of, unless there are other posts on the forum or mailing lists mentioning it. If they were truly beneficial and compatible, they're most likely already included though or at least available as modules.

                                        Beyond that, you're really on your own. Monkeying with any network-related options outside of drivers is bound to give you grief. Odds are they will not interact well with our patches/gui/etc.

                                          [SOLVED] Seems like it is upstream problem. I tried once again after some 12 hours and [CMD]freebsd-update fetch[/CMD] worked this time.

                                          I tried to build once again with a fresh install. This time it stopped at a very first stage.

                                          While trying to update the OS with [CMD]freebsd-update fetch[/CMD] I kept on getting an error that reads:

                                          ...gunzip: (stdin): unexpected end of file
                                          metadata is corrupt
                                          

                                          To resolve, I removed [FILE]/var/db/freebsd-update/files[/FILE] and executed above command again, but it spits out the same error. hmmm… any clue?

                                            UPDATE: Running './build_pfPorts.sh b43-fwcutter' solved the problem. However this ./build_iso.sh failed to build iso (just memstick images were built) and the memstick image has the same kernel panic as stated in my above posts. :-( )

                                            Now, I am getting the following error during ./build_pfPorts.sh

                                            File not found b43-fwcutter /usr/ports/sysutils/b43-fwcutter /usr/local/bin/b43-fwcutter - /usr/local/bin/b43-fwcutter

                                            I checked with whether b43-fwcutter is available and it is there:

                                            dev# ls -lah /usr/ports/sysutils/b43-fwcutter/

                                            Did anyone encouter something like this?
