Build for FreeBSD

For FreeBSD version 8.0 and later, there is a MongoDB port you can use.

For FreeBSD versions 7.2 or earlier:

1. Get the database source: http://www.github.com/mongodb/mongo.

2. Update your ports tree:

   sudo portsnap fetch && portsnap extract
   

   The packages that come by default on 7.2 and older are too old and cause errors when you try to run the database.

3. Install SCons:

   cd /usr/ports/devel/scons && make && make install
   

4. Install libunwind:

   cd /usr/ports/devel/libunwind && make && make install
   

5. Change to the database source directory

6. Run:

   scons all
