FreeBSD

For all dependencies below we use Qt 6. Our minimum supported version is Qt 5.15.2, but you are on your own.

FreeBSD 14.0-RELEASE

Note: This is known to work on FreeBSD 14.0-RELEASE amd64. Chances are high that this also works on older FreeBSD releases, architectures and FreeBSD 15.0-SNAP.

1. Install build dependencies from package sources (or build from the ports tree): # pkg install boost-libs git qt6-base qt6-svg qt6-5compat qt6-imageformats qtkeychain-qt6 cmake
2. In the project directory, create a build directory and enter it

   mkdir build
   cd build
   

3. Generate build files. To enable Lua plugins in your build add -DCHATTERINO_PLUGINS=ON to this command.

   cmake -DBUILD_WITH_QT6=ON ..
   

4. Build the project

   make
