I have now got AlienBBC working beautifully on a FreeBSD system, all built from ports. There were a couple of minor issues I found, all of which were resolved by searching the lists so I thought I'd collect them in a single post in case it's of use to someone else.
On a clean FreeBSD 7.1 install: 1) perl 5.8.9 built from ports with default config 2) bash shell built from ports with default config 3) squeezecenter 7.3.2 built from ports with default config 4) mplayer built from ports with ONLY these options selected: RTCPU, OCFLAGS, SIMD, IPV6, REALPLAYER & LIVEMEDIA (I now know LIVEMEDIA is not needed either) 5) reboot 6) Install AlienBBC from extension downloader 7) edit /etc/fstab and add "fdescfs /dev/fd fdescfs rw 0 0" to automount the /dev/fd device 8) edit mplayer.sh and change shebang to "#!/usr/local/bin/bash" as /dev/fd/3 pipe did not work reliably with #!/bin/sh 9) reboot and away you go!
