A few months back, I submitted compatibility patches for FreeBSD that never seemed to make it in to the distribution.
Because I was submitting the patch for inclusion in the source, I took the time to do the "right thing", and produce an autoconf solution that removed the dependency on <stdint.h>. Although this file is part of the ISO specification, many unices still provide the same declarations in <sys/types.h> and <inttypes.h> (even Linux). The patch dynamically created a localized stdint.h based on the includes provided by your environment (For systems that support <stdint.h>, it was simply included).
Well I'm not doing it again - just so it can sit in the patch repository until obsolesence. Instead, here is the ghetto solution I have been maintaining for the last few months:
http://multiple.divide.org/fbsdseqpatch-0.5.gz
Maybe IT will get merged.
Firstly, if you are not synced and running FreeBSD-stable, you should be (otherwise, no go).
You will need to compile and install the following ports:
gcc30
libgnugetopt
lib z
gnu autoconf
gnu automake
gnu make
libtool
gnu dbm
lib gd
lib png
Next, grab QT 2.3.2 or later from http://www.troll.no/ .
Untar the distribution, and move the entire directory to /usr/local/qt. Read the install instructions, and BEFORE running configure edit ./configs/freebsd-g++-shared and change all of the instances of "gcc" and "g++" to "gcc30" and "g++30" respectively. Run configure (with threading enabled), and compile.
Grab the latest CVS from the SEQ CVS repository, enter the showeq/ working directory, and:
export CC="gcc30"
export CPP="g++30"
export CXX="g++30"
export LIBS="-lgnugetopt"
Then:
gmake -f Makefile.dist no-backup
Then:
./configure
Download the patch, de-gzip, and copy the file to your showeq/ working directory. Install the patch with:
patch -p0 < fbsdseqpatch-0.5
Now:
gmake
gmake install
Enjoy.
Feel free to e-mail with questions, but please no "how do I install gcc?" - RTFM.
