FreeBSD Binary Packages

FreeBSD uses its port system as the official software manager. Software can be built from source, or it can be installed as prebuilt binaries. Once the packaged developed at DragonLace are entered into the official ports tree, these packages will be built when the port is updated.

Until then, prebuilt binaries are available here:

• i386 Platform
• AMD64 Platform

Manually download the tarballs all in the same place. You can install them using the pkg-add -v {filename} command. A package such as GNAT AUX has several dependencies like libiconv, mpc, mpfr, and gmp. You will either have to build these libraries from source or install the prebuilt binaries with the same pkg-add -r command.
