Because of our regular testing on macOS, the software works well on x86 FreeBSD.
On FreeBSD 12, you need the following prereqs:
$ sudo pkg install coreutils gmake perl5 python py37-pip
Note that this gets you Python 3, which currently only works with the trunk release of the software. The current stable release only works with Python 2, which was the default version on FreeBSD 11 and older.
The configuration process will fail if you do not give the `--prefix` option because `/opt` isn't present on FreeBSD by default. Rather than create that subtree, a more "native" FreeBSD configuration would be:
$ ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/pidp8i
There is a [FreeBSD build for the Pi][fbpi], but we believe it [will not work with the front-panel hardware](/tktview?name=856225858e). You are more than welcome to fix this and [send us a patch].
