That's about the best I found in /usr/include/errno.h

Actually, I double checked. getopt is in /usr/local,
so adjusting the Makefile to use /usr/local/include will work.
Or, ultimately, via ./configure

Well, FreeBSD does not have stdint.h. I checked their mailing list
archives and it seems they are working on it. I don't know the
C standards and even much less the implementation in FreeBSD.

I forgot, you need GNU make, which is gmake on FreeBSD.

So, when including the getopt from above, the prerequisites for
FreeBSD are the GNU make and the getopt package, plus the
boehm-gc package. OpenSSL is more or less standard on FreeBSD.
The term 'package' means something to FreeBSD users :-) it's like rpm.

P.S.: obviously I subscribed to the mailing list :-)
