Guidelines and HOWTOs/Build from source/FreeBSD Start crafting on FreeBSD

• Install required dependencies either with pkg, or from ports:

pkg install libxml harfbuzz shared-mime-info p5-URI py36-sqlite3 xcb-util-image libxslt xcb-util-wm freetype2 xcb-util-renderutil gettext-runtime fontconfig git bash libxcbcommon xcb-util-keysyms gettext-tools icu python dbus inputproto cmake xorg-fonts pcre png bison xkeyboard-config pkgconf libxcb gpgme p7zip glib python36

or

portmaster devel/icu devel/pcre devel/dbus x11-fonts/fontconfig print/freetype2 print/harfbuzz graphics/png x11/libxcb x11/xcb-util-image x11/xcb-util-keysyms :x11/xcb-util-renderutil x11/xcb-util-wm x11/libxkbcommon security/gpgme databases/py36-sqlite3 x11/inputproto shells/bash devel/git devel/cmake archivers/p7zip net/p5-URI lang/python lang/python36 x11/xkeyboard-config x11-fonts/xorg-fonts devel/libexecinfo devel/gmake devel/pkgconf devel/gettext-tools devel/gettext-runtime devel/bison misc/shared-mime-info lang/ruby22 textproc/libxslt devel/glib20

• Prepare some build directory in your home directory, here we assume:

mkdir ~/kf

• Switch to this build dir

cd ~/kf

• Get Craft

git clone git://anongit.kde.org/craft.git

• Copy Mac OS X config template to right location, should be OK to use out of the box

mkdir etc
cp craft/kdesettings.fbsd etc/kdesettings.ini

• Optional: Run bash if you are running some other shell

bash

• Setup environment:

source craft/kdeenv.sh

• In this shell, now craft is usable, e.g. to build Kate with all dependencies:

craft kate
