[PC-BSD] Error message when rebuilding the kernel.

When I run "make buildkernel KERNCONF=MYKERNEL" everything goes well until after a while but then I get a error message saying
Code: 
c/sys/dev/ath -I/usr/src/sys/dev/ath/ath_hal

If you don't need the 'device ath'(and those related to it) then you can remove them from your custom kernel and rebuild.
 
I need the device ath,i think that that is the patch I applied in order to make my wireless work.
 
What version of FreeBSD are you using?

What version is the source you're trying to build?

What is in your /etc/make.conf, /etc/src.conf?

What does your kernconf look like?

Where did you get this patch to make your wireless work?
 
I am running pc-bsd 8 rc whcih I assume is based on freebsd 8.
Not sure about the source.
to get the patch I did this
Code: 
fetch http://people.freebsd.org/~rpaulo/ar9285_stable_8.diff
cd /usr/src
patch < /place/where/diff/file/is/stored
I think that the patch is dodgy. I think I will need to find a new patch or make adjustments to this one.

Code: 
/etc/make.conf
#UNCOMENT this if you want to do port builds with no interaction
#BATCH=yes

I have no /etc/src.conf

I'm going to toss out a WAG, and suggest that whatever version/revision of source code you have, it is not compatible with a patch meant for FreeBSD 8-STABLE.

On a bog-stock FreeBSD system, it looks to me like -Werror is pulled in from /usr/src/share/mk/bsd.sys.mk. You might try setting NO_WERROR=true in /etc/make.conf, and seeing if your module builds.

[red]Nota bene! Vorsicht![/red] If those warnings are important and you ignore them, you could get an unbootable kernel building past them. You will be very crabby if this happens.
