Porting XLibre to FreeBSD and DragonFlyBSD!

An effort for porting XLibre to FreeBSD and DragonFlyBSD.

---

Installing the packages from sources:

You need the ports tree installed to build these packages.

git clone https://github.com/b-aaz/xlibre-ports.git
cd xlibre-ports/
echo "OVERLAYS=$(pwd)/" >> /etc/make.conf
make clean
make install

---

Installing the binary packages from build artifacts:

Binary packages are available from the CI builds. To add them as a pkg repository you can do the following on both FreeBSD and DragonFlyBSD:

su

cat > /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/XLibre.conf <<\'EOF'
XLibre: {
        url: "https://api.cirrus-ci.com/v1/artifact/github/b-aaz/xlibre-ports/bins/bins/${ABI}",
        mirror_type: "http",
        enabled: yes
}
EOF

Then you can install the packages as you would any other package.

su
pkg install xlibre-server xlibre-drivers

Note: The CI artifacts binary packages are built with debugging flags set and they also have full debug symbols included and are built with -O0 optimization. This is to ease debugging in case of problems.

Video drivers

Installing the video card drivers should be followed as instructed in the FreeBSD handbook.

It is recommended that you have some ports and pkg knowledge before installing these ports.
