Hi Hans Petter That worked great, after getting the newest version by svn and doing a make help I've seen that you point that out there as well. Thanks! For others who perhaps have the same issue, here is the short form of what I did: 0. svn ... svn://svn.turbocat.net/i4b # Get the newest version of i4b by HPS (into a new directory) 1. portupgrade -R asterisk # Update asterisk for a newer version if needed 2. make deinstall # Uninstall (old version of) i4b by HPS with: 3. /usr/src> make update # Update FreeBSD, in my case to 6.1-RELEASE-p11 4. make buildworld / .... # FreeBSD update process as usual, but without a reboot yet! 5. i4b/trunk/i4b/FreeBSD.i4b> make S=../src package 6. i4b/trunk/i4b/FreeBSD.i4b> make install 7. i4b/trunk/chan_capi> gmake all install 8. /usr/src> make buildkernel KERNCONF=.... # build the kernel with i4b configured 9. /usr/src> make installkernel KERNCONF=... # install kernel 10. reboot 11. /usr/src> make installworld This is the long run with rebuilding world. If no FreeBSD update is done, but only i4b, the following should do: 0, 2, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 For anyone not familiar with buildworld please consult the FreeBSD manual for a more detailed version of it. And for the compile options to reduce time for re-building the kernel after just a i4b update, see the help files by HPS.
