Make building / running on FreeBSD easier #25

Closed johnae closed 7 years ago

johnae commented 7 years ago

I know spook runs on FreeBSD 11 now. However building and running it could be more straightforward. The steps to make it run are:

  1. Install gmake and gcc48
  2. export CC=/usr/local/bin/gcc48
  3. export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib/gcc48
  4. gmake clean-deps; gmake clean ## just make sure spook artifacts are all cleaned out
  5. gmake
  6. run spook

It only runs properly as long as the LD_LIBRARY_PATH is set as above.

By the way, it might work fine with any version of gcc.

There's no reason I know of why it wouldn't build fine with clang like it does on OS X. Will investigate at some point.

As of https://github.com/johnae/spook/commit/7050b70edb53232da539128bb99ee0100af936a2 this should work fine (since I've now got a freebsd laptop). Added instructions to README which basically boils down to:

install gmake link cc to gcc (eg. clang is linked to gcc), more specifically:

sudo pkg install gmake
ln -s /usr/bin/cc /usr/local/bin/gcc
gmake

No need to install gcc.
