FreeBSD Build Instructions
The website says plugdata can run on FreeBSD when compiled from scratch.
Are there build instructions? I get errors when I try:
$ cmake --build .

I'm following the instructions from the README:
git clone --recursive https://github.com/plugdata-team/plugdata.git
cd plugdata
mkdir build && cd build
cmake .. (the generator can be specified using -G"Unix Makefiles", -G"XCode" or -G"Visual Studio 16 2019" -A x64)
cmake --build .
Any experts out there who can provide insight?
OS: FreeBSD 14.2 CPU: AMD 5700U
Sorry, responded to the wrong issue before.
Looks like I accidentally broke FreeBSD building, it was working at some point. I'll get it back up soon!
Should be fixed on develop now. It compiles for me on FreeBSD 15.0 with these instructions:
git clone --recursive https://github.com/plugdata-team/plugdata.git
cd plugdata
cmake -BBuild -DQUICK_BUILD=1
cmake --build Build
I still get the error on 14.2. I'll try it on 15.0 when I get home next week. Thanks for looking into this.
