[Gambas-user] Official port to FreeBSD.

[François Gallo]

Hello the Gambas community.

I declare you that Gambas is officially ported to the
FreeBSD Operating System.

Install all required packages in order to compile it.

"The gb.qt4 component crashes for OpenGL. Why?"

On *BSD systems, the directory which contains OpenGL
headers is into the X11R6 'package' as :

/usr/X11R6/include

You must manually specify to your FreeBSD system this
path with the good environment variable named CPATH.
For the Bash shell user:

CPATH=/usr/X11R6/include; export CPATH

"The gb.cairo component crashes at compile time because
the linker doesn't find the -lcairo option. Why?"

Once again, that doesn't come from Gambas, but from
your FreeBSD system configuration. In this case, that means
you didn't specify your LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable.
  For the Bash shell user:

LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib; export LD_LIBRARY_PATH

This port has been done on FreeBSD 9.0 64 bits (amd64).
