DHCP3 Server on FreeBSD 4.11

[Paul Taylor]

Hi,

I'm new to FreeBSD, so there is a good possibility that this is just  
something stupid that I'm doing wrong...  I've had bad timing with  
linux software that I've tried installing in the past (just happened  
to try to install while there was a broken distribution, etc.) and  
I'm starting to think that is my situation here...

I'm trying to install the ports version of isc-dhcp3-server...   
According to what I've read, it should be as simple as:

cd /usr/ports/net/isc-dhcp3-server
make
(Set options in the dialog box, in my case unselect everything, then  
let it run the config, make, etc.)
install -s work/dhcp-*/work.freebsd/server/dhcpd /usr/local/sbin

Now, my problem starts with the make...  When I run it, this is what  
I get:

# make
===>  Vulnerability check disabled, database not found
===>  Found saved configuration for isc-dhcp3-server-3.0.2_8
=> dhcp-3.0.2.tar.gz doesn't seem to exist in /usr/ports/distfiles/.

Stop in /usr/ports/net/isc-dhcp3-server.

So, it looks like it works correctly up until the Configure section...

This output:

Unexpected argument: server
System Type: --subsys
No build directory for freebsd - please run ./configure.

is from the Configure script, in the /usr/ports/net/isc-dhcp3-server/ 
work/dhcp-3.0.2 directory...  It doesn't appear to be expecting the  
"--subsys server" that is passed.

Now, I ran a "make -n" to get the actual commands that it is issuing,  
and it does appear to be running "./configure --subsys server" and I  
also noticed that the last make it runs is: "make -f Makefile   
all.server".  That probably explains the "make: don't know how to  
make all.server. Stop" error...

Now, the real question is how to I fix this?  Am I missing some sort  
of environment variable?  Is this port broken?

Also, note that I have tried manually running ./configure and  
performing a "make all"...  But I get this far in the make, then:

make: don't know how to make omshell.c. Stop
*** Error code 1

Stop in /usr/ports/net/isc-dhcp3-server/work/dhcp-3.0.2/work.freebsd.
*** Error code 1

Stop in /usr/ports/net/isc-dhcp3-server/work/dhcp-3.0.2.

So, I'm hoping someone out there can assist me...

Thanks,
Paul
