FreeBSD build instructions

The FreeBSD build instructions are being worked on as the FreeBSD port advances.

If you like to help out with the FreeBSD port, please join the #vbox-dev irc channel or drop a mail on the development mailing list.

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
