FreeBSD build instructions

While we try to not favor any distribution, we only build with certain distributions. This includes Debian, Ubuntu, Gentoo and Red Hat Enterprise Linux. Things should not be much different for other distributions though. If you want to supply specific build instructions (especially package names) for other distributions, please contact InnoTek.

Prerequisites

You need:

• GCC 3.2.3 or later (except for the GCC 4.0.x series)
  => The default GCC should be fine.
• Yasm 0.6.0 or later
  => /usr/ports/devel/yasm
• as86 (real mode assembler, usually part of the dev86 or bin86 package)
  => /usr/ports/devel/bin86
• bcc (Bruce Evans C Compiler; often part of the dev86 package)
  => /usr/ports/devel/bin86
• IASL (Intel ACPI compiler)
  => The one installed into /usr/sbin/iasl should be fine.
  
• xsltproc (libxslt, XML style sheet processor)
  => /usr/ports/textproc/libxslt
• libxerces (Xerces XML parser, C++, v2.6 or later)
  => /usr/ports/textproc/xerces-c2
• libxalan (Xalan XSL library, C++, v1.10.0 or later)
  => /usr/ports/textproc/xalan-c
• libXcursor (required to support color mouse pointers in guest)
  => Probably installed, if not try /usr/ports/x11/libXcursor.
• Qt 3.3.x (with x >= 5 if possible)
  => /usr/ports/x11-toolkits/qt33
• libIDL
  => /usr/ports/devel/libIDL
• libSDL
  => /usr/port/devel/sdl12
