+vnstat's makefile uses the '-D' option which is only part of GNU install, thus compiling vnstat for OpenWrt on FreeBSD or Mac OS X fails because of the missing option.
+
+Attached is a patch to have the install target separately create the destination directory before installing the vnstat.conf file to $(DEST)/etc. Additionally it also removes an erroneous tab character in the Makefile.
+
+The patch is meant to go in feeds/packages/net/vnstat/patches/ directory.
