====== Installation on FreeBSD ======

**Installing and running Cartes du Ciel-SkyChart v3 alpha 0.0.6 for Linux under FreeBSD**

FIXME This procedure needs to be adapted for the beta version. There is no more need for Kylix Qt, but you need to install libgtk1.2 and libgdk-pixbuf2.

1 - Make sure you have Linux binary compatibility installed & enabled. You can
get it from ports or, even better, using sysinstall.

Detailed instructions may be found here:\\
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/linuxemu.html

2 - Download both the //Kylix QT runtime RPM// and the //CDC v3 alpha 0.0.6 RPM// from ap-i.net

www.ap-i.net/skychart/modules.php?op=modload&name=Downloads&file=index&req=viewdownload&cid=8

3 - Install the two RPMs (Kylix first). In a shell, as root, issue the command:
<code>/compat/Linux/bin/rpm --install path/to/the/filename.rpm</code>

4 - Install the graphics/linux-jpeg port. As root:
<code>cd /usr/ports/graphics/linux-jpeg
make install clean</code>

5 - Run the program: /compat/linux/usr/bin/skychart

So far everything seems to be working fine.

Anyway, being the solution available for the time being, Linux emulation of //Cartes du Ciel-SkyChart// is certainly not what FreeBSD users would like. It would be nicer to see natively ported and compiled both //Cartes du Ciel-SkyChart// and the Kylix libraries, of which it is dependent.\\
FIXME FreePascal is available for FreeBSB, so a native compilation is now possible.

(worked for me using 5.2.1 and linux_base-7.1_7)\\
