Hi, I am new to Ethereum project and want to build the client on bsd. I have searched on bugzilla, but it seems there is no any related PR.

Is there anything I can help you with?

Sure, The cpp ethereum is under reformulation, you can see the progress here: https://github.com/ethereum/webthree-umbrella/issues/632

So we'll need a different port on it.

What I did is initialise the git sub repositories, but is really ugly to call the commands like that in the port. Now the idea I think was to do a general script, but I don't think that the best approach is to just call the script, because doing a port is much easier and understandable on freeBSD.

The better solution for handling git submodule is here. And include all the files downloaded from the internet in distinfo is important, also.

I can make a new cpp-ethereum port if you need help. :smile:

I don't know if that works with the previous umbrella repository, because each of the other projects were hosted in another github page as sub-repositories. Nevertheless now it should be much simpler because the project is in one single directory: https://github.com/ethereum/cpp-ethereum/

Sure! feel free to make the PR once we have a decent port :-D
