Bleeding edge

Are you the kind of person who is always looking for latest versions and bleeding edge software for testing those new functions? If yes, you've come to the right place.

Here are step by step instructions in how to install FreeBSD 10 with latest clang, libobjc and GNUstep.

These instructions are for a laptop with Intel graphics and shell is the default csh.
You may have to alter some points to match your system.

FreeBSD

Download the latest release and install as normal.
Boot up and login as root. 

Download most recent ports

# portsnap fetch

# portsnap extract

Intel KMS

Add to /etc/make.conf for Intel KMS support

WITH_KMS=YES WITH_NEW_XORG=YES

Portmaster

A convenient tool for installing ports.

# cd /usr/ports/ports-mgmt/portmaster

# make install

Nano

We don't wanna use vi....
# portmaster -G editors/nano

Subversion

# portmaster -G devel/subversion

Clang

Required for latest Obj-C features.
# portmaster -G lang/clang33

Sudo
# portmaster -G security/sudo
Edit settings so that we can use sudo 
# visudo
Uncomment the line “%wheel ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL”

Add user to wheel group to allow sudo# pw usermod [youruser] -G wheel
 

Xorg

# portmaster x11/xorg (select drivers as needed)

# portmaster -G x11-wm/openbox (my choice of wm)

# portmaster -G x11-wm/xcompmgr (optional, needed for transparent windows)

# cd ~

# Xorg -configure

# cp xorg.conf.new /etc/X11/xorg.conf

Add to /etc/X11/xorg.conf

section ServerLayout to enable mouse and keyboard (without hald)

Option          "AutoAddDevices" "Off"

Add to /home/[youruser]/.xinitrc

exec xcompmgr & exec openbox-session

Now X can be started with “startx” after login.

Autologin

If you want auto login and auto start X do this:

Add to /etc/gettytab

# WB: autologin console as user "brilliant" A|Al|Autologin console:\        :ht:np:sp#115200:al=brilliant

Edit line in /etc/ttys

ttyv1   "/usr/libexec/getty Al"       xterm  on  secure

Add to ~/.cshrc

# WB: startx if it isn't already running set XPID = `/usr/bin/pgrep X` if ( { [ -n "$XPID" ] } ) then  #echo "X is already running" else  startx  logout endif

GNUstep

Prerequisites

# portmaster -G security/gnutls

# portmaster -G devel/icu

# portmaster -G devel/libdispatch

Make clang33 our default compiler
Add to ~/.cshrc and then re-login
setenv CC clang33
setenv CXX clang++33
setenv CPP clang-cpp33

Get source from SVN

$ cd ~

$ mkdir Download

$ cd Download

$ svn co http://svn.gna.org/svn/gnustep/tools/make/trunk make

$ svn co http://svn.gna.org/svn/gnustep/libs/base/trunk base

$ svn co http://svn.gna.org/svn/gnustep/libs/back/trunk back

$ svn co http://svn.gna.org/svn/gnustep/libs/gui/trunk gui

$ svn co http://svn.gna.org/svn/gnustep/libs/libobjc2/trunk libobjc2

Configure & Install

gnustep-make

You may choose other layout and prefix if you like

$ ./configure --with-layout=gnustep --prefix=/usr/GNUstep --enable-objc-nonfragile-abi

$ gmake

$ sudo -E gmake install

$ source /usr/GNUstep/System/Library/Makefiles/GNUstep.csh

Add to ~/.cshrc

source /usr/GNUstep/System/Library/Makefiles/GNUstep.csh

libobjc2

$ gmake (cmake seems broken, use normal Makefile with gmake)

$ sudo -E gmake install

- Reinstall gnustep-make according to above so that it is configured to used the new libobjc2

gnustep-base

$ ./configure --disable-unicodeconstants --enable-fake-main

$ gmake

$ sudo -E gmake install

gnustep-gui

$ ./configure

$ gmake

$ sudo -E gmake install

gnustep-back

$ ./configure --enable-graphics=cairo --with-name=cairo

$ gmake

$ sudo -E gmake install

Set default backend to cairo

$ defaults write NSGlobalDomain GSBackend cairo

Play Time

Now everything should be set up so you can start compiling and running GNUstep applications.

Good Luck :)
