Also, it would be nice to setup some build bots for the BSDs. TravisCI and appveyor don't support them.

If anyone has some tips on how to do that, or knows of another project with FreeBSD/OpenBSD build bots, that would be helpful.

cheers,

Hello,

it seems there's a few issues installing pygame on freebsd from source... and there has been for years. The port was abandoned some years ago, and no one took it up. However, there's a bunch of people trying around the internet to use it and failing.

Here's the freebsd ports page for it:
https://www.freshports.org/devel/py-game/

I started a wiki page for freebsd compilation instructions here:
https://www.pygame.org/wiki/CompileFreebsd

Thanks to ndowens on GH for reporting, and helping get some fixes in.

https://github.com/pygame/pygame/issues/473
- portmidi doesn't work on freebsd
- video4linux doesn't seem to be there

So, if there's any freebsd users up for helping out with a port, it would be much appreciated.

cheers,
