FreeBSD 4.10 installation issues

Wed May 4 23:24:42 EDT 2005

	It appears the copy of ports that you got is broken. I'd guess from the
error message that configure didn't recognize the hostname as FreeBSD and 
thus didn't set the __FreeBSD__ define. Upgrading FreeBSD to a later version
would be one option, but as Eric suggested doing a manual build of the latest
code is probably easier. The latest code can be found by anon ftp to qosient.com
in /dev/argus-2.0/argus-2.0.6.fixes.1.tar.gz and 
/dev/argus-2.0/argus-clients-2.0.6.fixes.1.tar.gz both of which build and 
install just fine on FreeBSD 4.10-RELEASE. If you want to be absolutely up to
date there are 4 or 5 patches on top of fixes.1 as well.
	Alternately you could manually add the __FreeBSD__ to the Makefiles
like this:

vi /usr/ports/net-mgmt/argus/work/argus-2.0.6/common/Makefile

and add -D__FreeBSD__ to the end of this string:

DEFS = -DPACKAGE_NAME=\"\" -DPACKAGE_TARNAME=\"\" -DPACKAGE_VERSION=\"\" -DPACKA
GE_STRING=\"\" -DPACKAGE_BUGREPORT=\"\" -DSTDC_HEADERS=1 -DHAVE_SYS_TYPES_H=1 -D
HAVE_SYS_STAT_H=1 -DHAVE_STDLIB_H=1 -DHAVE_STRING_H=1 -DHAVE_MEMORY_H=1 -DHAVE_S
TRINGS_H=1 -DHAVE_INTTYPES_H=1 -DHAVE_UNISTD_H=1 -DHAVE_TCP_WRAPPER=1 -DHAVE_SYS
_SOCKIO_H=1 -DHAVE_STRING_H=1 -DHAVE_FCNTL_H=1 -DHAVE_SYS_FILE_H=1 -DHAVE_SYSLOG
_H=1 -DHAVE_ETHER_HOSTTON=1 -DHAVE_STRERROR=1 -DCONFIG_X86_BSWAP=1 -DSTDC_HEADER
S=1

to give:

DEFS = -DPACKAGE_NAME=\"\" -DPACKAGE_TARNAME=\"\" -DPACKAGE_VERSION=\"\" -DPACKA
GE_STRING=\"\" -DPACKAGE_BUGREPORT=\"\" -DSTDC_HEADERS=1 -DHAVE_SYS_TYPES_H=1 -D
HAVE_SYS_STAT_H=1 -DHAVE_STDLIB_H=1 -DHAVE_STRING_H=1 -DHAVE_MEMORY_H=1 -DHAVE_S
TRINGS_H=1 -DHAVE_INTTYPES_H=1 -DHAVE_UNISTD_H=1 -DHAVE_TCP_WRAPPER=1 -DHAVE_SYS
_SOCKIO_H=1 -DHAVE_STRING_H=1 -DHAVE_FCNTL_H=1 -DHAVE_SYS_FILE_H=1 -DHAVE_SYSLOG
_H=1 -DHAVE_ETHER_HOSTTON=1 -DHAVE_STRERROR=1 -DCONFIG_X86_BSWAP=1 -DSTDC_HEADER
S=1 -D__FreeBSD__

then I expect that would work (it will get overwritten if configure is run 
again though).
