-Building on FreeBSD
---------------------

-(Updated as of FreeBSD 11.0)

-Clang is installed by default as `cc` compiler, this makes it easier to get
-started than on [OpenBSD](build-openbsd.md). Installing dependencies:
-
- pkg install autoconf automake libtool pkgconf
- pkg install boost-libs openssl libevent
- pkg install gmake
-
-You need to use GNU make (`gmake`) instead of `make`.
-(`libressl` instead of `openssl` will also work)
-
-For the wallet (optional):
-
- ./contrib/install_db4.sh `pwd`
- setenv BDB_PREFIX $PWD/db4
-
-Then build using:
-
- ./autogen.sh
- ./configure --disable-wallet # OR
- ./configure BDB_CFLAGS="-I${BDB_PREFIX}/include" BDB_LIBS="-L${BDB_PREFIX}/lib -ldb_cxx"
- gmake

-*Note on debugging*: The version of `gdb` installed by default is [ancient and considered harmful](https://wiki.freebsd.org/GdbRetirement).
-It is not suitable for debugging a multi-threaded C++ program, not even for getting backtraces. Please install the package `gdb` and
-use the versioned gdb command e.g. `gdb7111`.
