FreeBSD supports Hugin with two ports in the ports collection. The FreeBSD project is currently in a transition from building ports locally to distributing binary packages. This page describes both approaches. Note that the binary package approach is changing, and this description could become out of date.

Build locally

The details of building FreeBSD ports are described here. Briefly, once you ensure that your ports tree is up to date,

Install the latest released port

$ su
# cd /usr/ports/graphics/hugin
# make clean install

This port is currently maintained by Vasil Dimov <vd (at) FreeBSD.org>.

Install the latest development version

$ su
# cd /usr/ports/graphics/hugin-devel
# make clean install

This port is currently maintained by Greg Lehey <grog (at) FreeBSD.org>.

Multiple versions

It is not possible to install both the released and the development versions of Hugin on the same machine. If you want to experiment, first make a backup of the installed version, remove it, and install the other version. If you want to go back, remove the new version and restore the old version.

For example, to try a new development version, you would do:

$ su
# cd /usr/ports/graphics/hugin
# make backup
# make deinstall
# cd /usr/ports/graphics/hugin-devel
# make clean install

If you then decide to go back to the old version, you can do:

# make backup
# make deinstall
# cd /usr/ports/graphics/hugin
# pkg_add hugin-2012.0.0.tbz

Install the binary package

The following command installs the latest version of the released binary package. This may be older than the version in the ports collection.

$ su
# pkg_add -r hugin

+For example, to try a new development version, you would do:
-|-valign="top"

-to track closely Hugin's releases, after each new release edit the following files in the ports collection:
+<pre>
+$ su
+# cd /usr/ports/graphics/hugin
+# make backup
+# make deinstall
+# cd /usr/ports/graphics/hugin-devel
+# make clean install
+</pre>
-. edit '''[http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/ports/graphics/hugin/distinfo?rev=1.8;content-type=text%2Fplain distinfo]''' to point to the right tarball. You will need to edit the name in parenthesis, to calculate and edit the md5 and sha256 hashes, to edit the filesize.
+If you then decide to go back to the old version, you can do:
-. edit the '''Makefile'''.
+<pre>
-* add/update build dependencies to LIB_DEPENDS=
+# make backup
-* add/update runtime dependencies to RUN_DEPENDS=
+# make deinstall
-* add/update Cmake building arguments to CMAKE_ARGS=
+# cd /usr/ports/graphics/hugin
-* if you're not sure about something that need to be done, ask the experts.
+# pkg_add hugin-2012.0.0.tbz
+</pre>
+== Install the binary package ==
-. edit the '''pkg-plist''' list of installed files
+The following command installs the latest version of the released binary package.  This may be older than the version in the ports collection.
-. probably not necessary: edit the '''pkg-descr''' description of Hugin.
+<pre>
+$ su
+# pkg_add -r hugin
+</pre>
-make a diff and submit it to the FreeBSD experts.
