Well that's the thing, it doesn't seem to use autotools or any kind of ./configure script. It seems to use it's own ncurses style menuconfig to generate a Makefile.conf. Unlike it's fork sister Kamailio, it doesn't use a "make $ARGS cfg" either.

So, you're right, it's about the Makefile preparation, only it has to be done more manually.

I'm going through the Makefile and Makefile.def just now. I've already found a few things that need FreeBSDisms added. For example; SMP detection has a ifeq($(OS),solaris) statement, but I need to add one for freebsd. Currently I'm going with the following, unless anyone can suggest a better way:

else ifeq ($(OS),freebsd)
        SMP_STR = $(shell sysctl kern.smp.active | grep 1)
        ifeq (,$(SMP_STR))
                ISSMP ?= no
        else
                ISSMP ?= yes
        endif

Also, I added a rule for FreeBSD to set LIBDIR to "lib" regardless of architecture. It was being set to "lib64" which is normal for Linux I guess.

I notice there are several paths mentioned in the OpenSIPS Makefile.defs that may effect the staging process. This is taken from the file:

 # install location
DESTDIR ?= $(LOCALBASE)
PREFIX ?= $(DESTDIR)
prefix = $(PREFIX)
# install path is $(basedir) $(prefix)
# example:
#  creating a bin. archive in /tmp, which unpacks in /usr/local
#  basedir=/tmp
#  prefix=/usr/local


I noticed there is support for FreeBSD added to the Makefile and Makfile.defs, but it was probably added a while back. It's clearly not compatible with the Ports staging requirements. I'll keep going, should have something to report back soon.
