Introduction
============

This file describes the steps required to build this bundle on a supported
FreeBSD system.  See README for more information about the tested
configurations.

The kqueue-based monitor should be compatible with any *BSD release with
support for kqueue.  So far, however, the author has only tested this release
on FreeBSD v. >= 10.0.  Feedback on different *BSD systems is much appreciated
and will benefit other users as well.

Installation
============

See the INSTALL file for detailed information about how to configure and install
fsw.

  fsw is a C++ program and a C++ compiler compliant with the C++11 standard is
required to compile it.  FreeBSD v. >= 10.0 ships by default with the CLang
compiler suite which builds this package correctly.  The GCC compiler collection
shipped with FreeBSD, however, is not C++11 compliant and cannot build this
package.

  The configure script will look for clang++ and use it if availabe.  However,
should the user want to use another compiler, the following command can be used:

  $ ./configure CXX=compiler

where the name of the desired compiler is assigner to the CXX variable.
