Wanting to play Jimmy Maher’s “The King of Shreds and Patches” in style on my FreeBSD box, I noticed that there was no FreeBSD port of Gargoyle.
Long story short, there is now a FreeBSD port named games/gargoyle, maintained by yours truly. The latest release can be installed with pkg install gargoyle as soon as the package builders have finished their next run.
If you want to compile Gargoyle yourself, the easiest way is to use the ports tree by running make -C /usr/ports/games/gargoyle install clean.
Thiis is great! I’ve been building Gargoyle on FreeBSD myself (as well as SDL Frotz, QTads, and Hugor) for several years now. But I’m just an unsophisticated user, not a coder, and don’t really understand making a port. Thanks for stepping up for what must be a tiny sub-niche.
