Hi Torfinn, There's an explanation of what happened to if_ppp.h here: http://www.mail-archive.com/svn-src-...@freebsd.org/msg07293.html This commit log refers to the fact that the value of __FreeBSD_version was bumped to 800045 due to the removal of the if_ppp(4) driver. You can find all of the historical values of that variable here: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/books/porters-handbook/freebsd-versions.html In this case, the port Makefile should be patched like so: - --- Makefile.orig 2010-01-15 13:37:50.374330422 -0500 +++ Makefile 2010-01-15 13:38:04.101133409 -0500 @@ -24,7 +24,7 @@ .include <bsd.port.pre.mk> - -.if ${OSVERSION} >= 800000 +.if ${OSVERSION} >= 800045 BROKEN= does not compile: error: net/if_ppp.h: No such file or directory .endif A better fix might be to port the code from using if_ppp(4) to the replacement ppp(8), as noted in the commit log.
