I'm trying to create a new port. To get myself started, I copied

try to make my port, it downloads the file from the PECL repository,
extracts it, runs configure and then starts compiling, but in the end I
get a bunch of errors from cc about undefined constants:

So, my first question is: How can I tell my port to patch
work/kadm5-0.2.3/kadm5.c with the needed line above?
You will want to create a '-patch' line in the Makefile. See the
following as a reference:

My second question is: Is there a "proper way" to hack the needed values
into kadm5_err.h? Should I make a new .h file and include it as part of
the port only?
You can create a ${PORTNAME}/files directory containing the file(s) you
need, specific to your port and FreeBSD.
See the following link for more information:

And last but not least:
After I manually patched the kadm5.c file and hacked the missing
declarations into kadm5_err.h, I get a different set of errors:

Sorry. There are lots of experienced folks who can help with C errors.
I, unfortunately, am not one of them.
