Also, the detection of the number of cpus (about line 143) is done by a very specific Linux method /proc/cpuinfo) , which does not work on FreeBSD and macOS.
So I do an exact replacement from: CPUS=`grep -c "^proc" /proc/cpuinfo` to: CPUS=`nproc` Is that correct?
Yes, please change it to CPUS=nproc The single quotes are not needed, those are to prevent shell expansion within the quotes. nproc properly reports number of threads on macOS (after installing development tools which are needed anyway), and FreeBSD via an alias. FreeBSD does not build as-is, e.g. it uses gmake which doesn't exist on FreeSD version 13. nproc needs an alias but that is easy done in the bsd.bld file. FreeBSD is also very limited in included options, like is excludes all of thirdparty. I wonder if that is still relevant, for example I did see LV2 plugins for FreeBSD. Was it downloaded a lot when there still was a FreeBSD version, or put it another way, is the effort useful to resurrect it? All builds report during configure time that with gcc -V or clang -V the upper case -V is not known; it probably tries to retrieve the version number. In both cases, lower case -v gives the version number. I did see a while ago a msg about outdated configure.ac . Maybe that would help, I'll see what I can find. I don't know whether freeBSD or macOS would be good platforms for CinGG, but (trying) to build for other platforms is a good way to weed out hidden problems. MatN
