Step 1:Install the following from the ports tree: x11-toolkits/gtk20 devel/boost-all devel/gmake databases/db48 Step 2:Install wxWidgets 2.9 from source. The ports version won't work. You can get 2.9 here: http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/wxwindows/wxWidgets-2.9.0.tar.bz2Step 3:Apply the attached patch to the "makefile.unix" file. cd ~/bitcoin-0.3/src/ patch < makefile.unix.patch.txt Step 4:Tweak any compiler options in makefile.unix. (See the CFLAGS line). The default options are the options I use on my machines. They are: "-O3 -march=nocona -fstack-protector". Be sure to set your 'march' at the very least. Step 5:Build with: gmake -f makefile.unix bitcoind And enjoy! $ cat ~/.bitcoin/debug.log |grep "Bitcoin version" Bitcoin version 0.3.0 beta, OS version FreeBSD 8.0-RELEASE-p3 amd64 $And what about performance? It's insanely great on FreeBSD. Especially with the ULE scheduler.

Good evening,
Thank you for your howto, it allows me to prepare a FreeBSD port for Bitcoin.
Could you attach makefile.unix.patch.txt your patch? It seems you forgot it.

Any status on the FreeBSD port? Thanks for this HOWTO. Any ideas on the best way to run bitcoind as a daemon on the system?

Each time I am close to submitting a port, the codebase/makefiles change. I'm waiting until the development of Bitcoin dies down a tad before I work on the port again. Compiling it on FreeBSD is easier now. You just have to enable a define, adjust some library/include paths, and it compiles and runs great. ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif)

I've been trying to get 0.3.19 it to compile on FBSD for about half an hour now with no success.

It seems that the original makefile.unix won't work as-is for most folks.
In my case, I had to use the output of `wx-config --cflags` and `wx-config --libs` to make the build work on a ubuntu hardy box (thanks to Diablo-3D for pointing me in the right direction.)
Are we okay with having a few build recipes hanging around old forum posts, or should there be an attempt at foolproofing the build process a bit?
Maybe some light autoconf/automake use would help here.

Here is the complete makefile.unix that I used to build Bitcoin 0.3.19 on FreeBSD-8.1-RELEASE/amd64: You'll need to install the following from ports: gmake boost-all db47 (you can use db48, but you'll have to change the makefile a bit) openssl (from ports works best) After you drop in this makefile.unix file, just run "gmake -f makefile.unix bitcoind" and you'll have a "bitcoind" binary. ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) # Copyright (c) 2009-2010 Satoshi Nakamoto # Distributed under the MIT/X11 software license, see the accompanying # file license.txt or http://www.opensource.org/licenses/mit-license.php.

Use the makefile above and run "gmake -f makefile.unix bitcoin".

Great! I'd like to see this good work make it back into mainline bitcoin; please talk with the other improve-the-build-process efforts and submit some patches.

How often do you get the chance to work on a potentially world-changing project?

This is of course based on published above excellent guide. Thanks to The Madhatter.
However, instead of all that, now one can simply do this:
cd /usr/ports/net-p2p/bitcoin; make install clean; rehash
you will even have a chance to select/deselect GUI and upnp stuff.
