Hello guys,
First i show you way to install ModSecurity which i tried.

git clone --depth 1 -b v3/master --single-branch https://github.com/SpiderLabs/ModSecurity
cd ModSecurity
git submodule init
git submodule update
./build.sh
./configure

configure - output

After that. I entry "make" and:

I have tried the same way on linux and it works. So, what is the problem under FreeBSD ?
Thanks for help.

##Edit:
Modsecurity v2 compiles and works fine. There is something wrong with v3 for FreeBSD

[victorhora]

@bryn1u FreeBSD should be supported.

Based on your logs output I would think you're either missing some dependencies (e.g. automake / autoconf) or the build / configure script failed to run successfully for other reasons.

Try following the compilation recipes here: https://github.com/SpiderLabs/ModSecurity/wiki/Compilation-recipes

There's no FreeBSD recipe, but I think you can use it as reference to check if you have all required dependencies first. If you happen to install something that was missing, it might be a good idea do clean up your local build and redo the steps including cloning (or resetting) the repo.

[bryn1u]

Nope. There is still something wrong. I installed everything and more.

I check those lines in Makefile but i dont see there nothing special. Additionally installed only valgrind.
Could you take a look on those lines ?

[bryn1u]

Problem has been resolved. To compile in "make" step, "gmake" for FreeBSD command must be use otherwise we will get issues like above. It needs GNU make that's way problem showed up.

@victorhora
Maybe worth add some note for FreeBSD on https://github.com/SpiderLabs/ModSecurity/wiki/Compilation-recipes site for another people.
Issue can be closed.
Thanks for help :))
