Summary: net/libdnet: Fails to build on systems with WITHOUT_PF=true (needs PF headers)

Description Robert Blayzor 2019-07-08 14:18:01 UTC 
libdnet is dependency for open-vm-tools-nox11

libdnet fails to build unless PF is installed as part of base system. If you installworld minus PF (WITHOUT_PF=true), libdnet fails to find a suitable firewall (as reported), even though ipfw2 is available.


On building:

|------------------------------------------|
|No suitable firewall interface found. Most|
|probably you are not running the FreeBSD  |
|OS. Please consider using this version    |
|of libdnet  with the FreeBSD system       |
|------------------------------------------|
===>  Script "configure" failed unexpectedly.
Please report the problem to onatan@gmail.com [maintainer] and attach the
"/var/build/.amd_mnt/public/FreeBSD/ports/net/libdnet/work/libdnet-1.13/config.log"
including the output of the failure of your make command. Also, it might be
a good idea to provide an overview of all packages installed on your system
(e.g. a /usr/local/sbin/pkg-static info -g -Ea).
*** Error code 1

Stop.

Comment 1 Robert Blayzor 2019-09-19 14:07:42 UTC 
Other than having to re-build/install world with PF, is there any update or workaround for this?
