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/dev86
  • bcc (Bruce Evans C Compiler; often part of the dev86 package)
    => /usr/ports/devel/dev86 (same as above)
  • IASL (Intel ACPI compiler)
    => The one installed into /usr/sbin/iasl should be fine.
  • xsltproc (libxslt, XML style sheet processor)
    => /usr/ports/textproc/libxslt
  • libXcursor (required to support color mouse pointers in guest)
    => Probably installed, if not try /usr/ports/x11/libXcursor.
  • libpng
    => /usr/ports/graphics/png
  • libIDL
    => /usr/ports/devel/libIDL
  • libSDL
    => /usr/ports/devel/sdl12
  • mkisofs
    => /usr/ports/sysutils/cdrtools
  • FreeBSD 6.x compat libs for kBuild and other prebuilt binaries
    => /usr/ports/misc/compat6x
  • Qt 4.3.x
    => /usr/ports/x11-toolkits/qt4-gui or configure --disable-qt
