compiling on FreeBSD

[Steve Dekorte]

Following the git build instructions from the website, compiling luvit on FreeBSD 8.3-RELEASE-p6 #19 r248142M, I get:

$ make

Try with the other build system using the configure script.  We have two build systems in luvit, one is a hand-written Makefile, the other is a gyp (python build system) based and is triggered by the configure script.  

I've never built on FreeBSD so I'm not much help there.

Thanks, gyp isn't installed but I've downloaded it's source and unfortunately it has no build instructions or make or configure files (and this box appears to have no package installers), so I'm poking around to try to figure it out.

Maybe you should try Gnu make on FreeBSD instead, that is, the "gmake"
command :) It should be in your FreeBSD Ports.

Gyp is bundled in the luvit sources.  You don't normally need to install it yourself.  All that's required outside basic build toolchain is a gyp compatible version of python.
