Successful Build on CLEAN FreeBSD 15 - Required Steps

[chris-romanov]

THIS IS NOT A BUG. These steps have been tested on a clean SNAP 15.

Description:

To achieve a successful build on a clean FreeBSD 15 system, follow the steps below:

1. Install the necessary packages:

pkg install -fy git nano wget cmake gmake ninja png bison autoconf automake binutils

2. Create symbolic links to resolve missing headers and binaries:

ln -s /usr/local/include/pnglibconf.h /usr/src/lib/libpng/pnglibconf.h ln -s /usr/local/bin/ar /usr/obj/usr/src/amd64.amd64/tmp/usr/bin/ar ln -s /usr/local/bin/ranlib /usr/obj/usr/src/amd64.amd64/tmp/usr/bin/ranlib

3. Configure DBus without launchd:

Navigate to the /usr/src/gnu/usr.bin/dbus directory and run: ./configure --without-launchd

@mszoek Hi :) These steps might help stabilize the build in the main branch building.
