Compiling VICE 3.9 on FreeBSD 15

[kalevik]

Hello!

pkg finds no 'vice' package and ports does not work. It seems to me that using GCC is mandatory to get VICE 3.9 to compile. For the record, I did:

pkg install dos2unix glew gcc gmake

and

fbsd15:~/src/vice-3.9 $ cat foo
export CXX=g++
export CC=gcc
./configure --enable-x64sc --disable-sdlui --enable-gtk3 && gmake -j4

fbsd15:~/src/vice-3.9 $ bash foo

and got a working x64sc executable.

Merry Christmas to everybody from Finland!

best regards,
Kalevi K.

Probably not allowed due to copyrights on the ROMs.

ports does not work.

Builds fine here.

Nope. But even if it did, the ports system would simply build it with GCC. Plenty of other stuff in the ports tree that does require GCC and fail miserably with LLVM.

So, what was the issue you ran into when building the port? Because it should build just fine.

I have been working with getting Sendmail to work for the past few hours and I forgot what the exact problems were. Could have been linker having duplicate symbols and when I tried to eliminate that problem by allowing multiple definitions, the build eventually complained about missing symbols. Using CC=gcc and CXX=g++ worked out right away.

Hmmm, I tried ports again and VICE was compiled without any issues. Maybe I did something wrong earlier today although I cannot understand what.
