We test LAB CodeTyphon 8.30 on FreeBSD 14.0

FreeBSD is a complete free Unix-like operating system.
The powerful FreeBSD operating system is used by professionals in all different fields.
From scientists to programmers, government workers and hobbyists, FreeBSD is a great alternative to the traditional operating systems offered.

FreeBSD is one of our LAB Reference OSes

1. OS things and stuff..

FreeBSD installation give you only a minimum bootable OS

so, logging as "root":

a) Install "bash", "zip", "unzip", "nano" and "sudo"

pkg install -y bash zip unzip nano sudo xorg

b) Install one or more Desktops, at this test we install "gnome" and "MATE"

pkg install -y mate mate-desktop
pkg install -y gnome gnome-desktoppkg install -y lightdm lightdm-gtk-greeter lightdm-gtk-greeter-settings

c) Setup /etc/rc.conf

nano /etc/rc.conf

and add:

moused_enable="YES"
hald_enable="YES"
dbus_enable="YES
lightdm_enable="YES"

d) Add installation user to group "wheel"

pw groupmod wheel -m username

Reboot and logging as simple user...

2. Preparation-Give "sudo" root privileges

Open a terminal and exec

sunano /usr/local/etc/sudoers

add at the end of /usr/local/etc/sudoers 1 line

username ALL=(ALL:ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL

Ctl-X to exit and Y to save

3. Download-Unzip-Install

Download CodeTyphonIns.zip and unzip to your home directory

Open a terminal, and go to new CodeTyphonIns directory

cd CodeTyphonIns

Start CodeTyphon Installation with command

sh ./install.sh

Give zero "0" to Install CodeTyphon

4. Setup and Build (GTK2)

After CT install you can start CTCenter or to continue with the open terminal

We don't change GTK2 Platform.

It's the first installation of CodeTyphon on this PC, so we install "system libraries" select "0".

Select "8" to build all...

Finally

CTCenter and Typhon64 for GTK2

5. Build Typhon IDE for QT5 (KDE5)

You can Logging to Plasma Desktop for this...
but, it's NOT necessary,
you can build Typhon IDE for QT6 or QT5 or QT4 or GTk2 from ANY Unix desktop...

a) Switch Typhon IDE Host Platform to QT5

CodeTyphon Center => Setup Dialog

and select QT5 Platform

b) Only for the first time, install OS System Libraries:

CodeTyphon Center =>HostPC=>"Install System Libraries"
