*BSD users should be able to specify gmake and fetch instead of wget.
*Reworked a lot of the sgdk skeleton framework to work better and be more friendly with the existing sgdk examples.
*Patched some issues I found in sgdk related to using stdio.h
*Patched sgdk tools for issues related to *BSD 'removed malloc.h'
It appears that a lot of the gotcha between OSX and FreeBSD are similar so perhaps this is a step closer to working on OSX.
NOTE: This will likely require installing 'unzip' from ports. Otherwise this is tested on a minimal 8.3 setup with only 'bash' 'sudo' 'unzip' 'vim-lite' and 'subversion' added post installation.
I checked using Fetch and I tried it manually using a Web-Browser. This is no fault of yours kubilus1 - it's due to the Fetch attempt returning a "403 Forbidden".
I actually had this Zip-File handy on the Server so I copied it to my build Directory and let it build.
I haven't tested it thoroughly but the gmake was successful.
Many Thanks for having put this Makefile together, kubilus1 and thank you for including us FreeBSD Folks If you need a Log-File of the Build, let me know
Very cool. I would be interested in if building programs and examples actually work, I just did a minimal BSD install without X.
Up until recently I had been using FreeBSD as the core OS for a product at work. Going on to do other things now. It really is a great operating system to develop on.
So does France block most file hosting services as a rule? Perhaps these could be mirrored elsewhere.
The problem is Fileden - they're upgrading right now and almost NOTHING is available. The only thing I can do is access my basic account profile... everything else gives that 403 forbidden message, and the support page says that the site is being upgraded and to email a special address if you need help.

Yes, I shall build some Programs and see how it goes. Tbh it should work once past the Build-Stage.
I do not use X under FreeBSD either - nor under my Linux Machines - I have OS X and SSH
I got a bit fed up of Things failing to build for far too many silly Reasons under Linux so I opted to move the majority of my Development onto either a BSD or Solaris. Solaris is in a weird Situation at present so I went for FreeBSD and Things 'work'. You get a bit sick of all the different Distros under Linux after a while for long-term Stuff.
No Idea about France and its Policies but I am based in Germany

Yes, a blessed '403' isn't as bad as a '404' They are probably looking to sink another 'Kim dot Com' Character in time for January or some such Dinosaur Tyranny - 'so let's have an Audit!'
I am a bit old fashioned: using File-Hosting Sites is not a very good long-term Solution. Could the LD-Scripts be hosted somewhere else? What about the MD-Wiki that Oerg86 contributes to? Any other Ideas?

If it's considered open source code, then all the necessary files could be set up as a project on Google Code, Sourceforge or a few other services, Github maybe?
I have a small site, but bandwidth costs a lot of money for me.
I think setting it up as a google code page is the way to go. With perhaps a mirror elsewhere, just in case. It's all open source, so that's not a problem.

Yes - these are all good Ideas What about setting up a Repository for Spritesmind?
