MG/FreeBSD Compiling
This page explains how to compile MegaGlest on FreeBSD.
Getting the source code[edit]
Install and use Git to check out the MegaGlest source code.
Build dependencies[edit]
Following build dependencies have to be met:

Compilation[edit]
Recently the build system was changed to cmake. Therefor you should just have to do:
./build-mg.sh
in the megaglest directory.
Old method[edit]
If you are going to compile from older version of the source tree, with jam, read on.
go to megaglest/mk/linux and run
./autogen.sh
next call the configure script this way:
./configure --with-libxerces=/usr/local --with-libOpenAL=/usr/local --with-libLibPng=/usr/local \ --with-libLibJPEG=/usr/local --with-libLibCurl=/usr/local --with-libLibX11=/usr/local \ --with-ogg-includes=/usr/local --with-vorbis=/usr/local --with-ogg=/usr/local \ --with-ogg-libraries=/usr/local/lib --with-ogg-includes=/usr/local/include \ --with-wx-config=/usr/local/bin/wxgtk2u-2.8-config
If this has finnished successfully without errors and a message like this:
Notice: This project uses jam (and not make) as build tool. Type in:
jam
If everything went well the last lines of the output of jam should look like this:
LinkApplication glest_configurator ...updated 257 target(s)...
You should create under megaglest/mk/linux a new folder:
mkdir mydata
and create some symlinks within
ln -s ../scenarios ln -s ../data ln -s ../maps ln -s ../tilesets ln -s ../techs ln -s ../tutorials
Now you can start MegaGlest by typing within the folder megaglest/mk/linux
./glest.bin
Alternative method[edit]
- Retrieve two files from the corresponding PR.
- Get the megaglest.shar and the megaglest-data.shar files.
As root user, copy or move these files to /usr/ports/games and execute them:
sh megaglest.shar sh megaglest-data.shar
After that you'll find two new directories under /usr/ports/games: megaglest and megaglest-data
Go to /usr/ports/games/megaglest and install it like any other port by typing:
cd /usr/ports/games/megaglest ; make install clean
After build and installation has finished successfully you should be able to start MegaGlest by typing:
megaglest
