Tomahawk Desktop uses FreeBSD sources, it is not based on the FreeBSD distribution. It doesn't have a port system. Tomahawk Desktop is designed everything to be installed simply by "./configure, [g]make, [g]make install" which FreeBSD is not designed to support. In Tomahawk Desktop, anything you compile and install, can be cleanly uninstalled without any file left out, which is not possible in FreeBSD. Here "compile and install" means you take a package, unpack, make and make install, that's it. You don't have wait until somebody prepare a port for you.

Coming back to our problem, Avahi get compile errors on FreeBSD when its original build system is used. We need a help. Appreciate if somebody could give it a try to just compile (ie. download the package, unpack, ./configure and gmake).

Kind regards
