Development and Code Review / Building from Sources - General Questions
« on: April 16, 2018, 08:56:35 pm »
Hello OPN family,
I am just starting here after several years and "frustrations" with the current situation at the "pfsense".
I think at this point I don't need to explain what happened. Everybody knows that it is NOT an opensource anymore.
After version 2.4.3 I can't even compile my own customized kernel anymore.
After all these years, contributing and supporting the product...
That's when a good friend advised me to forget about it and come to OPN family.
I accepted the challenge and here I am.
I have to confess...I am totally amazed with the things I see here. I didn't know the OPN was sooooooooo advanced. W.O.W.
I was keeping a customized fork of pfs for years with proprietary authentication (winbind) and recently developing a new authentication mechanism using WMI (wmic - wmi client) since I have very good expertise and background over MS WMI queries/protocol. That's when I got SERIOUS problems with it. I got locked/stuck. I can't even compile my custom kernel (Yes, I need one to support my proprietary LCD based on Arduino - uchcom driver with NIS).
So, before I start shooting repetitive questions, here is a doub:
Is there a doc/how-to with steps on how to build OPNSense from the sources? I will probably have to fork the github and customize it according to my needs. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks Much!
Fabricio.
