3 ## Dependencies
4 
5 gmid depends on libtls and a C compiler.  It's reported to compile with gcc 4.2, so it should work pretty everywhere now.
6 
7 The compilation is as easy as
8 
9 ```
10 make
11 ```
12 
13 Note that there isn't an install target yet.
14 
15 If you're a packager, don't forget to install also the manpage gmid.1
16 
17 ### etags
18 
19 during the build process, etags(1) is invoked to generate a TAGS file.  This is done to aid the development.  Anyway, etags(1) is NOT NEEDED as dependency.  So, if you get something like
20 
21 ```
22 $ make
23 ...
24 etags gmid.c
25 make: exec(etags) failed (No such file or directory)
26 *** Error code 1 (ignored)
27 ```
28 
29 you don't need to worry, it is OK.
30 
31 ## Notes for specific OSes
32 
33 ### OpenBSD
34 
35 Everything you need is in base, just run make.
36 
37 ### FreeBSD
38 
39 You need to install security/libressl and then
40 
41 ```
42 make CFLAGS=-I/usr/local/include LDFLAGS='-L/usr/local/lib -ltls'
43 ```
