This page needs a cleanup. Please help keep Gramps Wiki a useful resource by refactoring this page. Think also on screenshots.

This page documents installing GRAMPS on FeeBSD, openBSD, ...

Packages to make sure are installed:

• py24-gnome
• py24-gnome-extras
• automake19
• gnomecommon
• autoconf259
• gnu-automake
• gnu-libtool
• gmake

Then do the following:

  # Download the source code
  # Extract the source code:
  $ gunzip gramps-2.2.3.tar.gz
  $ tar xvf gramps-2.2.3.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-2.2.3

  $ 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.
