This article describes setting up eAthena on a FreeBSD system.

The setup is the same as the Linux setup with two exceptions:

• You will need to use gmake instead of make
• You will need to patch eathena-monitor as described in this mantis ticket:
  • 0000760 eathena-monitor compiling issues under FreeBSD

Cloning and compiling

Start with cloning eAthena from our Git repository and compiling it, then compile the eathena-monitor utility:

 $ git clone git://gitorious.org/tmw-eathena/mainline.git eathena
 $ cd eathena
 $ gmake
 $ fetch http://www.adamaix.co.za/~adamaix/projects/tmw/patches/0001-eathena-monitor-under-FreeBSD.patch
 $ git am 0001-eathena-monitor-under-FreeBSD.patch
 $ gcc -o eathena-monitor eathena-monitor.c

If everything when smoothly then you may continue on where the Setting_up_eAthena_on_Linux documentation left off.
