Creating pfSense 2.0 Developers ISO on FreeBSD Beta 8.1

[trijames]

Hi All,

apologies if this is posted anywhere else…

I'm trying to build a pfsense developers ISO...

I've tried 2 things:

1.) tried to follow the instructions DevelopersBootStrapAndDevIso on http://devwiki.pfsense.org/DevelopersBootStrapAndDevIso

with FreeBSD Beta 8.1 RC1.  But, with no success.  I am getting an error during the ISO creation stage:

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

####################################
Something went wrong, check errors!
####################################
"

If anybody has some insight on where to start looking - you would be a tremendous help!

2.) And I've also tried to to grab one of the pre-made developer ISO's from:
http://devwiki.pfsense.org/UsingProjectEvilOnpfSense
It doesn't look like any 2.0 are available (obviously since this is still beta)…
Is this page still maintained?  Or is no 2.0 there because it is still beta?

On a general note:  What can I do at this stage of flux-development?  I really would like to contribute - but can't seem to get an environment setup where I could be of any help.

thanks
James

Is this page still up

[jimp]

We don't use the Dev ISO any more, to be honest. If you want to build something, a standard FreeBSD 8.1-RC box would be fine.

That said, I just made a builder VM the other day and didn't get that error, but I didn't use the menu.

I did something like this:

Install FreeBSD 8.0
Update source with csup and then build and install world and kernel
Update ports tree (I use csup for ports, not portsnap as on the instructions)

From http://devwiki.pfsense.org/DevelopersBootStrapAndDevIso
Do steps 1, 2, 3
Step 4 was already done when I updated the base system above

For Step 5, I ran ./set_version.sh and set the branch and such I wanted

Run ./apply_kernel_patches.sh

cd /home/pfsense/tools/pfPorts/php5/; make all install clean
cd /home/pfsense/tools/pfPorts/php5-pfSense-module/; make all install clean
cd /usr/ports/devel/readline/; make all install clean
(That last one may not be needed, but I had a vague recollection of running it the last time I made a VM for this)

Then:
cd /home/pfsense/tools/builder_scripts
./build_iso.sh

[trijames]

Hi Jimp,

thanks for the heads up.  Just curious - you mentioned you can build with standard freebsd 8.1 rc1 - but in your instructions you referenced 8.0.  Does that mean that I should definitely only try this with 8.0?  I Just want to make sure I'm not over-thinking this.

regards
trijames

[jimp]

If you start with an ISO for 8.1-RC then it should be OK - but you still must install the source and such anyhow, and IIRC you need the files that a buildworld/buildkernel makes anyhow, so it really doesn't matter where you start as long as you end up with a recent RELENG_8_1 world, kernel, sources, etc.

[trijames]

HI Jimp,

thanks again for the updated procedures - that seems to be getting me further.
Unfortunately, I'm still having an issue:
when I try to apply kernel patches - I get the following error:
WARNING!  Rejected patches found!  Please fix before building!

Did I screw up somewhere?  or is this a known problem.
Sorry If I'm not too familiar with this build process - I'm doing it for the first time and trying to do it as systematic and logical as possible.
How do I go about fixing this error?

regards
Trijames

[jimp]

That doesn't look familiar, but rejected patches are usually a sign that your source tree doesn't match up with what is expected, or that something was updated upstream (in FreeBSD) and the patches on pfSense may need adjusted.

What settings did you use when you set the version to build?

The contents of /home/pfsense/tools/builder-scripts/pfsense-build.conf would help.

[trijames]

Hi Jimp,

thanks. 
just fyi… I ended up using freebsd 8.1 RC1 as my base.
Then i run through the steps as outlined.
The version I set is RELENG_8_1...
But it seems that my FREEBSD_BRANCH is 8_0 as shown below...
Is there something wrong with that?

Here's my pfsense-build.conf below.

export PFSENSE_VERSION=2.0-BETA3
export FREEBSD_VERSION=8
export FREEBSD_BRANCH=RELENG_8_0
export PFSENSETAG=HEAD
export PFSPATCHFILE=/usr/home/pfsense/tools/builder_scripts/../builder_scripts/patches.RELENG_8_1

[jimp]

No that all looks right. Some things are named 8_0 and haven't been renamed to 8_1 yet, but they work for any 8, not just 8_0.

[trijames]

hi Jimp,

interesting… I wonder why it's not working...
here's the full text of the error I'm getting during apply-kernel-patches.sh

Hi Jimp,

in case it helps - here's exactly the steps I'm doing:

1.) install freebsd 8.1 RC1

2.) update the kernel source with csup
2a.) copy the supfile to the /etc

cp /usr/share/examples/cvsup/standard-supfile /etc/supfile

2b.) edit the supfile

vi /etc/supfile

2c.) add the csup server
host=CHANGE_THIS.FreeBSD.org
Change to:
host=cvsup4.us.FreeBSD.org
2d.) run csup
#> csup /etc/supfile

3.) build the kernel

cd /usr/src

make buildworld

make buildkernel

make installkernel

shutdown -r now

4.) boot into single user mode

boot -s from the boot loader prompt

adjkerntz -i

mount -a -t ufs

mergemaster -p

cd /usr/src

make installworld

mergemaster

reboot

5.) update the ports directory using csup

rm -fr /usr/ports/*

csup -L 2 /etc/supfile

6.) configure make (step 1 from devwiki.pfsense/org/DevelopersBootStrapAndevIso)

echo "WITHOUT_X11=yo" >> /etc/make.conf

mkdir -p /home/pfsense/pfSenseGITREPO /home/pfsense/installer /usr/pfSensesrc

7.) grab ports and build GIT

portsnap fetch extract

cd /usr/ports/textproc/expat2 && make depends install

cd /usr/ports/devel/git && make depends install

(take the standard default settings from the menu's)

cd /usr/ports/sysutils/fastest_cvsup/ && make depends install

(take the standard default settings from the menu's)

rehash

8.) continue on with the GIT repo checkouts

cd /home/pfsense && git clone http://gitweb.pfsense.org/pfsense-tools/mainline.git tools

cd /home/pfsense && git clone http://gitweb.pfsense.org/freesbie2/mainline.git freesbie2

cd /home/pfsense/tools/builder_scripts && chmod a+rx *.sh

9.) now do the pfsense stuff

cd /home/pfsense/tools/builder_scripts

./set_version.sh RELENG_8_1 cvsup4.us.freebsd.org

./apply_kernel_patches.sh

(here's where I get the reject errors…)

(the rest I don't get to because of the above errors)

cd /home/pfsense/tools/pfPorts/php5; make all install clean

cd /home/pfsense/tools/pfPorts/php5-pfSense-module/; make all install clean

cd /usr/ports/devel/readline/; make all install clean

10 now create the ISO

cd/ home/pfsense/tools/builder_scripts

./build_iso.sh

[trijames]

Hi Jimp,

one more thing - I'm building this as a VM… could that be the cause?

regards
TJ

[jimp]

VM is fine, nothing wrong with that.

Just checked on our main snapshot builder and the patches are failing there, too, so it must be an upstream update that happened.

EDIT: I restarted the build and it worked. Try updating the sources, git repos, etc, and then make another attempt.

[trijames]

Hi Jimp,

ok I guess that's good news - and will get fixed soon. 
What I notice is that the errors are all related to the tcp stack
ip.c
route.c
rtsock.c
etc…

So, would seem to me that something has changed there.
What does it mean when these are "rejects"?  Is it basically a 'diff' that found between the freebsd baseline and pfrsense baseline?

regards
TJ

[trijames]

Oh - I just saw your updated EDIT…
Ok - I'll try to update and see if that works...
Which source should I update?  kernel? or pfsense? or both?

regards
TJ

[jimp]

Try this:

# cd/ home/pfsense/tools/builder_scripts
# ./update_git_repos.sh
# ./build_iso.sh

[trijames]

Jimp,

not sure if I understand…
Just in case - I want to check my thinking:
1.) should I not do the following:
  # ./apply_kernel_patches.sh
  # cd /home/pfsense/tools/pfPorts/php5; make all install clean
  # cd /home/pfsense/tools/pfPorts/php5-pfSense-module/; make all install clean
  # cd /usr/ports/devel/readline/; make all install clean

So even though apply_kernel_patches.sh failed - I should instead do update_git_repos.sh?
And also skip the rest?  Is that right?

Or should I still do the above steps and then also do the update_git_repos.sh?

regards
TJ

[jimp]

Whatever you do, do update_git_repos.sh first. I'd just try to build the iso first and see what happens. It should do some of that automatically, but if it fails, then fall back to doing those steps (apply patches, build those ports, etc)

Though you can compile those ports whether or not the kernel patches apply

[trijames]

ah ok - excellent.  I'll give that a try.

[jimp]

That didn't work. I had to adjust the supfile to have a date, and go back a few days. If you update_git_repos.sh again and then redo the build it should succeed.

[trijames]

Jimp,

does it matter which which shell I use to run these?
I just saw a warning about ksh as below in the build_iso.sh

"the O_NONBLOCK symbol with a syntax error.  This is apparently a
sh error.  Rerunning Configure with ksh apparently fixes the
error, then please read the section "64 bit data in perl 5.6.0 and 5.6.1"

(I'm building the i386 version)

regards
TJ

[trijames]

Hi Jimp,

I am getting the following errors when running build_iso.sh - but it continues to run…
Did I forget a step?

[trijames]

Hi Jimp,

one more post …

at the end of build_iso.sh - I still get the error.
(sorry about all the posts...)

[jimp]

Not sure what is up with those port building errors, especially the wrapalixresetbutton port as that is very simple and should not fail. You might try to make that one by hand to see what the actual error is:

# cd tools/pfPorts/wrapalixresetbutton/; make all

As for those rejects, they may be leftover from when they did fail. You might need to run:

# ./clean_build.sh

[trijames]

Hi Jimp,

thanks.
I went ahead and tried to compile each of the failed builds by hand.

1.) dnsmasq built fine
2.) php5-curl did not (see below - looks like it is expecting curl5)
3.) php5-mhash built fine
4.) php5-pcre built fine
5.) php5-pfSense-module built fine
6.) php5-readline module failed (see below)

[jimp]

Did you ever go back and try to install readline on its own?

cd /usr/ports/devel/readline/; make all install clean

You might have to do the same with curl:

cd /usr/ports/ftp/curl; make all install clean

[trijames]

Hi Jimp,

yes I did - sorry I accidentally omitted that in the earlier post.
I did manually build readline - and it built fine - no issues.
I'm going to try and manually build all the packages that failed - and see what the error is.
Hopefully that can produce some new findings.

So, my understanding is
1.) run clean_build.sh
2.) run apply_kernel_patches.sh
3.) then for all that failed - manually build each of those packages
4.) if errors from manual build - check errors to try and resolve…

Sound good?  Or am I missing something here?

[jimp]

Sounds about right, though usually it isn't that complicated. Not sure why so many things are failing there.

[trijames]

Jimp,

so maybe there is something wrong with the procedure I've listed.
Can you check it through?
Maybe I have some of the steps in the wrong order (in particular the later steps)?

1.) install freebsd 8.1 RC1

2.) update the kernel source with csup
(taken from http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/books/handbook/makeworld.html)

2a.) copy the supfile to the /etc

cp /usr/share/examples/cvsup/standard-supfile /etc/supfile

2b.) edit the supfile

vi /etc/supfile

2c.) add the csup server
host=CHANGE_THIS.FreeBSD.org
Change to:
host=cvsup4.us.FreeBSD.org
2d.) run csup
#> csup /etc/supfile

3.) build the kernel

cd /usr/src

make buildworld

make buildkernel

make installkernel

shutdown -r now

4.) boot into single user mode

boot -s from the boot loader prompt

adjkerntz -i

mount -a -t ufs

mergemaster -p

cd /usr/src

make installworld

mergemaster

reboot

5.) update the ports directory using csup

rm -fr /usr/ports/*

csup -L 2 /etc/supfile

6.) configure make (step 1 from devwiki.pfsense/org/DevelopersBootStrapAndevIso)

echo "WITHOUT_X11=yo" >> /etc/make.conf

mkdir -p /home/pfsense/pfSenseGITREPO /home/pfsense/installer /usr/pfSensesrc

7.) grab ports and build GIT

portsnap fetch extract

cd /usr/ports/textproc/expat2 && make depends install

cd /usr/ports/devel/git && make depends install

(take the standard default settings from the menu's)

cd /usr/ports/sysutils/fastest_cvsup/ && make depends install

(take the standard default settings from the menu's)

rehash

8.) continue on with the GIT repo checkouts

cd /home/pfsense && git clone http://gitweb.pfsense.org/pfsense-tools/mainline.git tools

cd /home/pfsense && git clone http://gitweb.pfsense.org/freesbie2/mainline.git freesbie2

cd /home/pfsense/tools/builder_scripts && chmod a+rx *.sh

9.) now do the pfsense stuff

cd /home/pfsense/tools/builder_scripts

./set_version.sh RELENG_8_1 cvsup4.us.freebsd.org

# ./clean_build.sh

./apply_kernel_patches.sh

(here's where I get the reject errors…)

./update_git_repos.sh

(the below items might need to be manually built for anything that failed - E.G.: )

cd /home/pfsense/tools/pfPorts/php5; make all install clean

cd /home/pfsense/tools/pfPorts/php5-pfSense-module/; make all install clean

cd /usr/ports/devel/readline/; make all install clean

# cd /usr/ports/curl; make all install clean

./build_iso.sh

[kpa]

About point 5.), I think you need to use cvs tag "." instead of "RELENG_8_1" for fetching ports, /usr/bin/csup -h cvsup.uk.FreeBSD.org
/usr/share/examples/cvsup/ports-supfile should do the job (replace cvsup.uk with a mirror close to you).

[jimp]

@kpa:

/usr/share/examples/cvsup/ports-supfile should do the job (replace cvsup.uk with a mirror close to you).

He's using portsnap to get the ports, that supfile was just for the system sources (though since it was done earlier, it doesn't need to be done again)

[jimp]

I also noticed that I used this:

./set_version.sh HEAD

[jimp]

and for some reason, that still uses RELENG_8-supfile, instead of RELENG_8_1-supfile.

Whichever supfile shows in your pfsense-build.conf, make sure it has a line like this in it, if it uses RELENG_8_1

date=2010.06.25.00.00.00

I committed an update to that file, too, so it should work. Or it does for me again…

HI guys,

good news is that it now is able to get past the apply-kernel-patches.sh - thanks to the changes and info sent on how to properly setup the environment by Jimp.  thanks for that.
So - that is great.  I'm now trying to build the iso - and hopefully will have some good news for you in about 1 hour…

cross my fingers (or press my thumbs in german)...

HI Guys,

the apply-kernel-patches.sh went through clean as I mentioned earlier…
But when I ran the build-iso.sh... I got a few errors seen below:
I'm not sure if openssl for php is really needed.  But, it then looks like it is failing on dfuife_curses...

Hi Jimp,

I'm going to and give it a try again and first run clean_build.sh before hand.
Here's the steps that I'm going to try.
btw… I've been trying the cvsup.livebsd.org mirror - but it doesn't seem to work.  I assume the livebsd.org mirror is the same as the freebsd - right?

cd /home/pfsense/tools/builder_scripts

./clean_build.sh

./set_version.sh RELENG_8_1 cvsup.livebsd.org

./update_git_repos.sh

./apply_kernel_patches.sh

# ./build-iso.sh

regards
TJ

[jimp]

A fix for curl and readline just went into the repo from another dev.

[trijames]

Hi Jimp,

I went through the steps that I outlined in my earlier post and
  # ./clean_build.sh (ok)
  # ./set_version.sh RELENG_8_1 cvsup4.us.freebsd.org (livebsd.org doesn't seem to connect)..
  # ./update_git_repos.sh (ok)
  # ./apply_kernel_patches.sh (ok)
  # ./build-iso.sh (errors below…)

so far... still a few errors during build-iso.sh.
It still doesn't generate an iso...
Any tips on what I can do to try and help to track these down?

Looks like someone is working on some PHP fixes in the tools repo, I'd hold off for a day or so and try again.

Looks like FreeBSD's switch to using php52 ports instead of php5 (which is now php 5.3) might have caused some problems.

HI Jimp,

ok thanks for the heads up. What about the other errors?
Are they all critical?  Or can I manage to build an ISO with the other errors after php is fixed?

e.g.:

ERROR Building dnsmasq
ERROR Building syslog-ng
and

and
the O_NONBLOCK symbol with a syntax error.  This is apparently a
sh error.  Rerunning Configure with ksh apparently fixes the
error, then please read the section "64 bit data in perl 5.6.0 and 5.6.1"

not sure about dnsmasq and syslog-ng, but the olsr and other errors are not really errors, they are normal output that just happens to contain the string "error", or harmless.
