Development bootstrap fails with missing pear (6.2->6.3)

[skon]

Hi,

I recently needed to move my custom build to a new ALIX board.  However, the development install is based on FreeBSD 6.2, and the support files for this version is gone, so the build fails.

I thus did:
setenv PACKAGESITE ftp://ftp4.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-6-stable/Latest/

to get it to use 6.3.  However, now pear seem to be needed, but is missing:

Executing /home/pfsense/tools/builder_scripts/build_iso.sh…
Warning: require_once(config.inc): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /etc/rc.banner on line 34
Fatal error: require_once(): Failed opening required 'config.inc' (include_path='.:/usr/local/share/pear') in /etc/rc.banner on line 34

I tried to install pear:
cd /usr/ports/devel/pear
make install clean distclean

The the needed file fails to appear.

Any idea how to get the development system to build?

Thanks,
Jim

Caution, binaries and libraries (which is what the packages contain) built on a later version may not work, or may work unpredictably, on earlier versions.

There is a post containing details of the appropriate package location - somebody here took a mirror.  I don't have a link to it to hand, but I'd expect you'd find it in the Packages forum.
