Unable to use ports at all

[dest12345]

Hey!

I'm completely new to OPNsense, FreeBSD and everything else that follows with The OPNsense System.

I run OPNsense 19.7.9_1 on an Virtualbox 5.2 VM.
I have successfully synced the ports from OPNsense Github account into /usr/ports/, but when I try to install (make install) anything at all from /usr/ports/ I get the following error:

Code Select Expand

root@opnsense:/usr/ports/devel/subversion # make install

As far as I have been able to understand, the FreeBSD version (11.2-RELEASE-HBSD) is simply too old to be
able to make use of any of the ports packages. But since these ports packages is delivered directly from OPNsense's own Github account, isn't it normal to think that I would be able to use them in the latest version of OPNsense??

Have I missed anything??
Or is it impossible to use any of the ports?

It's a FreeBSD "thing" and there's an easy fix:

# opnsense-code tools ports

which is laid out here https://docs.opnsense.org/manual/software_included.html#the-ports-tree
