Anyhoo, I'll be patient.  Qemu won't be super fast, I know that.

There's a good reason why Q (on OSX it's called Q and not Qemu which makes a difference) is kind of slow. It runs in pure emulation mode because the accelerators kqemu (closed source) or QVM86 (OS) didn't make it to OSX as of today.

chmod a+rx /tmp/lua_installer
vi /tmp/lua_installer

Find where the installer backend is being launched and remove the 2> redirection.

Now run /tmp/lua_installer to obtain the installer specific error.

SKIP_RSYNC=yo is required if you do not have a pfsense cvs account (most likely).

Figured that out when removing these SKIP_RSYNC=yo lines….

@sullrich:

To work around the bsdinstaller issues, do this:
pkg_add -r http://www.pfsense.com/packages/All/bsdinstaller-2.0.2006.0728.tbz
pkg_add -r http://www.pfsense.com/packages/All/lua50-5.0.2.tbz

First line : complains that version 2.0.2006.0918 (more recent) is already installed.
Package lua50-5.0.2.tbz comes in just fine, but…. this doesn't removes the errors.
Anyway, this is an 'Installer' issue, not a pfSense pb.
I just 'rebuild world' and the ISO is just fine

@sullrich:

And yes, the developer bootstrap is not supported officially …..

I understand.
Over & out.

cvs [checkout aborted]: invalid change text in /home/pfsense/cvsroot/pfSense/usr/local/www/system_advanced.php,v

To work around the bsdinstaller issues, do this:

pkg_add -r http://www.pfsense.com/packages/All/bsdinstaller-2.0.2006.0728.tbz
pkg_add -r http://www.pfsense.com/packages/All/lua50-5.0.2.tbz

And yes, the developer bootstrap is not supported officially due to the sheer complexity of everything involved in bringing you pfSense.  It requires countless utilities and processes to make everything work together.

Don't forget to bootstrap bsd installer as well.  There is a file in builder_tools that does this:

cd /home/pfsense/tools/builder_scripts
./cvsup_bsdinstaller

This has already being done ones in the intitial "dev_bootstrap.sh" 'sanity ISO build check'…. just before the real ISO building begins.
A subsequent manual 'cal' to ./cvsup_bsdinstaller gave me an error, when all the installer packages were 'tarred up' in the final phase:

...

??? Hey, i.e., a (/usr/local/)share/dfuibe_lua/lib/Bitwise.lua exists.

Btw: this :
@dev_bootstrap.sh:

echo "SKIP_RSYNC=yo" >> $HOME_PFSENSE/tools/builder_scripts/pfsense_local.sh

poluates the pfsense_local.sh file at the end. Is this 'wanted/needed" for later on building ?

Please note that I understand that 'no help' is (can be) given on Developers issues… (its so bloody huge  :o).

cd /home/pfsense/tools/builder_scripts
./cvsup_bsdinstaller

Building building building….
Yay.  Have no idea how much longer this'll take.   ;D

Actually, it really works  ;) - it took nearly 2 hours on a Dell 5150 Dual Core to give a 'home baked' ISO. I ran the Dev in a VMWARE environment.
I created a second VMWARE BSD host to test the ISO - it worked just GREAT!
Please note that this was the dev bootstrap-phase – the next time you build an ISO (or whatever) thing go significantly faster….

:o

Up to stage 4.4: builiding everything

Yay.  Have no idea how much longer this'll take.  ;D

Manually ran the fastest_cvsup, put the results into /var/db/fastest_cvsup, and commented it from the dev_bootstrap.sh script.

Anyhoo, I'll be patient.  Qemu won't be super fast, I know that.

Done.  We'll know in about 12 hours or so if that did it. ;)

In the beginning, didn't understand the "12 hours" statement - but I think I get the picture.
Haven't enough good bear in my place  ;D

Try:

rm -rf /usr/src/lib/libipsec/*

And start the developer bootstrap over.
