compiling software
I am new to unix so please forgive ignorance. I am running openbsd-2.9 and need some help. All the software I run was added via the package system openbsd has. There have been times when I need an app. But it was not in the openbsd ports and or packages system. I usually just wait for it to show up in the packages or give up. It's coming to the point that I need several apps. , That are not in the openbsd ports / packages system, that I can't wait for and they may never be added. It's about time that I learn how to compile my own applications from source. I have searched for days on information about this but have come up with nothing specific or remotely useful. Please somebody help me learn how to compile software from source. Please give specific steps and details as I am trying to learn without a clue. This unix world is so confusing but it is a challenge and I am not willing to give up yet. If one of you guys don't mind please tell me what to do for this application as it is the one that has finally pushed me over the edge.

I need the app. Called demarc. www.demarc.org

It has the source available for download and says it works with openbsd. It even has a install doc. But does not show how to compile the demark app.

Thanks guys / ladies for any help and I apologize up front for asking such elementary information. If you folks have any good links or books that may help me learn please email them to me. I mainly run openbsd but I am getting a sun sparc with solaris soon.

urndis

URNDIS(4)						   BSD Kernel Interfaces Manual 						 URNDIS(4)

NAME

     urndis -- USB Remote NDIS Ethernet device

SYNOPSIS

     To compile this driver into the kernel, place the following lines in your kernel configuration file:

	   device ehci
	   device uhci
	   device ohci
	   device xhci
	   device usb
	   device urndis

     Alternatively, to load the driver as a module at boot time, place the following line in loader.conf(5):

	   if_urndis_load="YES"

DESCRIPTION

     The urndis driver provides Ethernet access over Remote NDIS (RNDIS), allowing mobile devices such as phones and tablets to provide network
     access.  It is often referred to as USB tethering, and in most cases must be explicitly enabled on the device.

     urndis should work with any USB RNDIS devices, such as those commonly found on Android devices.  It does not support different media types or
     options.  For more information on configuring this device, see ifconfig(8).

HARDWARE

     The urndis driver supports the "tethering" functionality of many Android devices.

SEE ALSO

     arp(4), cdce(4), ipheth(4), netintro(4), usb(4), ifconfig(8)

HISTORY

     The urndis device driver first appeared in OpenBSD 4.7.  The first FreeBSD release to include it was FreeBSD 9.3.

AUTHORS

     The urndis driver was written by Jonathan Armani <armani@openbsd.org>, Michael Knudsen <mk@openbsd.org>, and Fabien Romano
     <fabien@openbsd.org>.  It was ported to FreeBSD by Hans Petter Selasky <hps@FreeBSD.org>.
