Stop right there; the only supported way to rebuild your source tree is to make buildworld. In this instance, there were header changes which the new ipfw code relies on; since your system has the old headers installed it breaks when you try and compile ipfw by hand. If you were to do a buildworld it will pick up the correct version of the headers, and all will be well. > i know this sounds like a classic case of mismatch between userland and > kernel No, that would produce a runtime failure, not a compile failure. > but they sources are just two weeks old, and both are RELENG_4 > anyways. Not relevant; when headers change, they change, and you have to recompile code against the new version, not the old (i.e. by doing a buildworld).
