Hi Sayed,

I would start with cloning the git repo and then following the general
build instructions and those for FreeBSD:

	https://docs.julialang.org/en/v1/devdocs/build/build/
	https://docs.julialang.org/en/v1/devdocs/build/freebsd/

You first need all required build tools. Note, that GNUMake is called
"gmake" on BSD, so when you read "make" in the build instructions for
Linux, replace that with "gmake".

Another thing that might help is to do a "git grep FreeBSD" or "git grep
__FreeBSD__". Sometimes there might be conditional code, for which you'd
need to add a "#ifdef __DragonFly__" in addition.

Please keep us up-to-date with your progress and get back to us for
further help.

Regards,

  Michael
