Build from scratch / Port to ARM

[rene_]

Hello all :-)

i am currently still running pfSense on most of my devices 

i already migrated the first virtual appliance (kvm) from pfsense to opnsense, and i have to say ... i love it 


In my home office i am using a Netgate SG3100.

Sadly i found out, that opnsense is still not supported on arm SoC's, so i decided to build it on my own.

I have all the files here, u-boot, dts files and so on, thanks god, the SG3100 is an armeda385 board, which is supported by bsd since 2015.

i successfully build the kernel and the base, but at the moment, i am wondering, if i need to "make ports" or if its optional?

I am asking, cause the build already takes 10 hours on my build VM (10 Cores and 12GB Ram)

All the best,
René

Hello again,

seems quite dead here :-(

I think i read through everything now.
But i still encounter some errors.

when i try to make packages, or ports, the whole thing just stops after some hours.

There is no error or anything, it just wont do anything.

Greets,
René

Have a look at GitHub Tools repo, open issues, there is a discussion about packages

You need to disable suricata-devel, compiling rust at some point will make your CPU went idle. Try this fix.
