Building on FreeBSD

[hhartzer]

Hi,

Trying to build this on FreeBSD. I get this error when running qmake:

QMAKESPEC has not been set, so configuration cannot be deduced.

I figure there may be other errors after this point.

Could you advise me on what to try?

Thank you!

So I unfortunately don't have a lot of time so please understand my response time... Looks like I have to add more pre-built binaries anyway so I can at least spend some brain time thinking about FreeBSD while I'm at it.

Which desktop environment are you running on FreeBSD? Or should I ask - are you running a desktop environment on your FreeBSD?

I'm asking because I initially wrote this program for Linux only, where I can use the D-Bus (and some other things). When I searched "dbus on freebsd", the second hit was "Why do we need d-bus?" which is probably the best summary of why it will be difficult to build CapacityTester to work on any FreeBSD setup (assuming a significant number of FreeBSD users won't be using what I'd consider a standard desktop environment).

(Btw. I did write it in a way so that I'll be able to implement it using a common library instead of the Linux service I'm using now but I won't have time for that in the near future.)
