It is possible to build the minio server from source on FreeBSD. To do this we will used the golang distribution provided by the FreeBSD pkg infrastructure.
First we will need to install golang as well as GNU make:
We will need to install golang and GNU make:
```sh
$ sudo pkg install go gmake

Now we can proceed with the normal build process of minio server as found [here](https://github.com/minio/minio/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md). The only caveat is we need to specify gmake (GNU make) when building minio server as the current Makefile is not BSD make compatible:
Next we need to configure our environment for golang. Insert the following lines into your ~/.profile file, and be sure to source the file before proceeding to the next step:
```sh
GOPATH=$HOME/golang; export GOPATH
GOROOT=/usr/local/go/; export GOROOT
```
Now we can proceed with the normal build process of minio server as found [here](https://github.com/nomadlogic/minio/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md). The only caveat is we need to specify gmake (GNU make) when building minio server as the current Makefile is not BSD make compatible:
```sh
$ mkdir -p $GOPATH/src/github.com/minio
$ cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/minio
$ git clone <paste saved URL for personal forked minio repo>
$ cd minio
$ gmake
```
From here you can start the server as you would with a precompiled minio server build.
