FreeBSD repository is up-to-date.
All repositories are up-to-date.
The following 1 package(s) will be affected (of 0 checked):
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
