Re: Finding options for ports

 If the port has been converted to use OPTIONS, then there's already a

 OPTIONS, it would still need to be converted to your proposed 'make
 showconfig', so you might as well just go all the way and make it use
 OPTIONS.

Good info. Below I used showconfig to find the options for php, and
obviously it's been converted as you mentioned. (read on)

%cd /usr/ports/lang/php4
%make showconfig
=== The following configuration options are set for php4-4.3.9:
 APACHE2=off Use apache 2.x instead of apache 1.3.x
 DEBUG=on Enable debug
 IPV6=off Enable ipv6 support

Unfortunately there are numerous other options that are not available.
Even the cat/grep method of searching for WITH doesn't yield the options
I would want to turn on for php. In this case there's a Makefile.ext which
I'm assuming refers to the many php modules from the distribution's ext
directory that I might want to include (see below). Using the grep method
for PHP_MODNAME, I find all the options I'm looking for, but (probably a
stupid question, but) how do I add more than one? Do I define PHP_MODNAME
more than once at the command line?

%make PHP_MODNAME=openssl PHP_MODNAME=xslt

I tried that, but neither of the modules were included in the build :-(

Anyway I think the showconfig method is the right way to go, but it
should include all possible options for a port, not just the popular ones.
Maybe php is a special case since it has a module framework and many other
ports do not. Maybe we need a make showmodules too? Thoughts?

In the short term, how do I get these modules compiled in to my php? :-)

Memory leak in Perl?

[Chris Miller]

I'm running perl-threaded-5.8.4 from ports to support spf-milter

http://spf.pobox.com/sendmail-milter-INSTALL.txt

Perl seems to eat memory over a few hours and eventually dies. Most
spf-milter users report memory usage of ~25MB, but I've seen memory use in
excess of 110MB. I know there was a memory leak reported in Perl 5.8.2 but
I've found nothing on 5.8.4. Has anyone else experienced this with
threaded perl?

Regards,
Chris

What makes a driver dynamically loadable? (fwd)

[Chris Miller]

I'm working on a custom device driver. I've created my source files in the
/usr/src/sys/dev tree as well as created a corresponding directory in
/usr/src/sys/modules with a Makefile, and updated the parent Makefile. I
can indeed generate a kernel object and load it into the active kernel,
but it doesn't appear to get called when my device (USB in this case) is
attached. If I add my device to the kernel conf file and build a custom
kernel, it works fine.

I've used other device drivers as a template and have included all the
declarations the appear to be necessary :

USB_DECLARE_DRIVER(ulabjack);
DRIVER_MODULE(ulabjack, uhub, ulabjack_driver, ulabjack_devclass,
usbd_driver_load, 0);

During my development it's a lot easier to load/unload/modify the driver
without recompiling the kernel. So what step am I missing?

Re: Invalid partition error after install (more info)

[Chris Miller]

Upon further investigation I was able to use the default MBR by running
the fixit disk and using disklable -B da0s1. The question is, why must I
take this extra step every time I load FBSD on a scsi drive?

Chris

 suspect it's been around longer.
