Error compiling hostapd

Hi, I am willing to hack hostapd and got en error:

Code: 
:/root/work/wpa/hostapd # cp defconfig .config
:/root/work/wpa/hostapd # gmake

Please, show the output line of % uname -a

Try using gmake(1)() as previously @ShelLuser has proposed.

Check that you have uncommented this line in /usr/src/contrib/wpa/hostapd/defconfig
Code: 
CONFIG_IAPP=y

Furthermore, run # make clean before you try to compile it again.

Seems that he need populate his /usr/src again. So, your next step is download the complete source tree using svn(1)() method as is well explained in section A.5. Using Subversion of the FreeBSD Handbook.
Code: 
# mv /usr/src /usr/src.old
# svn checkout https://svn0.us-west.freebsd.org/base/releng/9.1/ /usr/src

Thanks for your input, @wblock@. Also, per take a look to /usr/src/usr.sbin/wpa/hostapd/Makefile anyone can guess that is a generic Makefile for *BSD make(1)().

Therefore, only the net/hostapd uses gmake(1)() instead make(1)() to be build.
Code: 
[CMD]% make build-depends-list -C /usr/ports/net/hostapd/[/CMD]
/usr/ports/devel/gmake

True, I've also been pondering about this.

I get the impression that the whole source code is included in the source tree, but that the actual building isn't done using its own Makefile but another higher up in the tree. For example; many sections come with their own configure file (see /usr/sys/contrib/opie for example) but those cannot be used on a readonly file system.

Yet those parts also get build, and without problems.
