>Description:
The PORTS_MODULES= variable in /etc/make.conf is supposed to automate building and installing kernel modules from ports. However, it seems there is a bug in the build system that breaks the build of any port that depends on an executable (libraries are completely fine though). Example:
cd ${PORTSDIR:-/usr/ports}/net/bwn-firmware-kmod; SYSDIR=/usr/src/sys make -B deinstall deinstall reinstall
===> Deinstalling for net/bwn-firmware-kmod
===> Deinstalling bwn-firmware-kmod-0.1.0
===> bwn-firmware-kmod-0.1.0 depends on executable: b43-fwcutter - not found
===> Verifying reinstall for b43-fwcutter in /usr/ports/sysutils/b43-fwcutter
===> Installing for b43-fwcutter-012
===> Generating temporary packing list
===> Checking if sysutils/b43-fwcutter already installed
===> b43-fwcutter-012 is already installed
You may wish to ``make deinstall'' and install this port again
by ``make reinstall'' to upgrade it properly.
If you really wish to overwrite the old port of sysutils/b43-fwcutter
without deleting it first, set the variable "FORCE_PKG_REGISTER"
in your environment or the "make install" command line.
*** Error code 1
Stop in /usr/ports/sysutils/b43-fwcutter.
*** Error code 1
Stop in /usr/ports/sysutils/b43-fwcutter.
*** Error code 1
Stop in /usr/ports/net/bwn-firmware-kmod.
*** Error code 1

*** Error code 1

/usr/src # which b43-fwcutter
/usr/local/bin/b43-fwcutter
/usr/src #
Note how it fails to detect that b43-fwcutter even though it’s present on the system. This results in an attempted reinstall of sysutils/b43-fwcutter, which fails because it is already installed. Therefore, rebuilding net/bwn-firmware-kmod also fails.
>How-To-Repeat:
>Fix:
I’m not an expert in the build system of /usr/src, but to me it seems that $PATH ist not picked up from the environment (which it should be when building ports).
