GR build error on FreeBSD

[RobvanW]

Hi,

It seems the main error is that the BDS binary does not exist. Is it a source error or does the binary really not exist?

We don't provide binaries for FreeBSD. You will have to build gr from source and install it in /usr/local or in your home directory. Please refer to the GR documentation for further information.

Building on FreeBSD 12.1 is easy. Here is what I did:

0. Get gr-master.zip from https://github.com/sciapp/gr

1. cd ~/build
   unzip -q ../Downloads/gr-master.zip

2. Edit lib/Preflight:
   a) #!/usr/local/bin/bash
   b) if [ -f /usr/local/bin/python3.7 ]

3. Edit Makefile:

GRDIR = /opt/gr
CONFIG = xft=no

UNAME := $(shell uname)

4. Edit gr-master/lib/gr3/gr3_internals.h:

#elif defined(linux) || defined(FreeBSD)
/* OpenGL Extension to the X Window System (GLX) on Linux */
#define GR3_USE_GLX
#include "gr3_glx.h"
#elif defined(_WIN32)

5. make

6. sudo gmake install

7. In julia,

   ENV["GRDIR"] = "/opt/gr"
   ] add GR

I find this to not work on

# uname -a 
FreeBSD 12.2-Stable r366737 GENERIC amd64

I don't see the point of 3).
In the mean time, It looks like the 4) was merged in v0.51.0
For the rest, I have to run gmake to get anywhere. make breaks on the Makefile syntax (line 67).

I my case, the gmake Makedefs does not find much.

#gmake Makedefs

I can manually tell it where things are.
Eg. to find python go to lib/Preflight:94 and the 3.7 after python and so on.
Which, for obvious reasons, is not a great solution.

Any ideas what could have broken it and how to conveniently unbreak the (g)make?
