The base system (more or less what consists a RELEASE) and ports are

RELEASE (say 7.2R) and up-to-date version of ports. There is no
separate STABLE or CURRENT versions of ports, there is only one.
(Well, there are marcuscom and area51 for testing new gnome and kde
releases, respectively, but you don't need to mess with them).
Ok, thanks alot for shedding some light here. I am not really into
FreeBSD but long term Linux user, so consider me being a noob here
;-).
FreeBSD 7 will be ok too. You can add some phrase like
"Before the software can be built, the following ports/packages
have to be installed:
devel/qtcreator
audio/taglib
devel/glib20
audio/sox
audio/libmad
security/libmcrypt.
Note that ports tree newer than 7 May 2009 is needed to build qtcreator."
This is FreeBSD-user friendly.
Thanks alot, I will put into our wiki like this. Is there actually a
command to upgrade the ports tree, so that I can use the latest ports
with FreeBSD 7.2? What would be the proper instructions to install the
necessary ports, I want to try compiling our software on FreeBSD.
BTW: Whom should I contact to get our project into the ports? I guess
a fully fledged MiniDisc transfer software could be interesting for
alot of FreeBSD users as well ;-).
Thanks alot,
Adrian
Adrian,
What other apps do you need besides qtcreator? We have that built in binary
format
for PC-BSD right now, which doesn't require any other compiling to run:

If you are trying to get some end users to simply install BSD, and run QTCreator
or some other app, PC-BSD may be an option, since it is FreeBSD under the hood.
Plus
if we don't have some app you need, you can always request it here:
