Installing Gramps on FreeBSD, openBSD, etc. First make sure the following packages are installed:
- py24-gnome
- py24-gnome-extras
- automake19
- gnomecommon
- autoconf259
- gnu-automake
- gnu-libtool
- gmake
Then do the following:
- Download and extract the source code:
$ gunzip gramps-3.2.6.tar.gz $ tar xvf gramps-3.2.6.tar
- Configure the source code to use
/usr/X11R6
for its path, since that is where FreeBSD likes to put gtk/gnome stuff:
$ cd gramps-3.2.6 $ export PATH=/usr/local/gnu-autotools/bin:$PATH $ export ACLOCAL_FLAGS="-I /usr/local/gnu-autotools/share/aclocal -I. -I /usr/local/share/aclocal -I /usr/X11R6/share/aclocal" $ ./autogen.sh $ gmake $ gmake install
This will compile and install Gramps correctly.
