I know, the maintainer really doesn't want to maintain it....
I tried but making the filelist is too much work for me and with all the different options... I'm not sure I want to put that much time in it..
It's really easy to simply build it from source so you can use the original tar.gz from this website to run it on FreeBSD.

just run ./configure with the required options (reply if you can't figure them out.. don't forget to mention what options you would like)
DO add the prefix option so you can tell the install where to put the files
then run make
and run make install

don't really remember if you have to add the prefix option with the make and the make install but read the provided manual and you'll know..

I've put missing file back. But it's very outdated - current release is 0.2.31. We need new maintainer for FreeBSD port.

Best regards,
Victor

Hello!
Today, I make some patches (see attach.) for this port to adopt it to 0.2.31 release.
It's work fine for me and my FreeBSD box with Server+Agent+MySQL options, but need testing by other peoples.

Building a port is not that hard, but netxms has a huge amount of files and a lot of different options and all combinations make building the pkg-plist a total hell.

I have the lates version of netxms running great on FreeBSD by building it from source.
Using --prefix=/usr/local/netxms puts all files in that directory and the make uninstall removes all installed files..
