or FreeBSD/OpenBSD/NetBSD currently). There are a variety of
dependancies that must be met, as well as specific set up steps
required to build.
Do not expect to just type 'make' and have it actually work without
meeting the prerequisites and following the correct steps as spelled
out on the wiki. :)
There are also a lot of other documents and information there that you
might find useful.
