A take on FreeBSD14.1

[paaguti]

Hi

I'm trying to get TextAdept to run on FreeBSD (again).

My target is a FreeBSD 14.1 with KDE5/plasma5. In my initial take I'm including
-D QT=ON -D GTK2=OFF -D GTK3=OFF -D CURSES=OFF

With that, I'm able to compile, but then I get a core...
I'd like to start sharing experiences here ;-)

On startup, Textadept needs to figure out where its home is. On BSD, it used to do this: bb14dfe#diff-e137203d90aa39a746e4bae862aff9bcd13a78d4f4fe2896b0046aba666f9ed5

You can try restoring that code first and see where that takes you.

It took me to a functional Textadept 12.5 nightly on FreeBSD14.1 with KDE plasma5:

I'll continue testing, but in the meantime, would it be possible to restore the BSD detection code into the repositories, please?

Thanks in advance :-)

As a matter of fact, the Qt version has a lot less dependencies, so it's quite simple to build.
