Adam Ierymenko f24283a674 VERSION 1.0.2: Experimental FreeBSD support!
Version 1.0.2 brings experimental FreeBSD support. It has ONLY been tested
on FreeBSD 10 on an x64 system, and should be considered alpha for this
platform for now.

This version is not going to be pushed out to the entire world via software
update, and the binary version distributed for other platforms via the
zerotier.com web site will remain 1.0.1 as there are no other meaningful
user-facing changes. This is just an interim release to let FreeBSD users
try it out. If you find bugs, please enter them on GitHub or do a pull
request and fix them yourself.

Building ZeroTier One From Source
======
(See RUNNING.md for what to do next.)
Developers note: there is currently no management of dependencies on *nix
platforms, so you should make clean ; make if you change a header. Will
do this eventually.
### Linux and FreeBSD
Just type 'make'. You'll need gcc and g++ installed, but ZeroTier One requires
no other third party libraries beyond the standard libc, libstdc++, and libm.
*Note:* On FreeBSD you must use 'gmake', not 'make'!
### MacOS
make
If you are building ext/tap-mac you will need a different version of the
OSX gcc compiler chain than what currently ships (clang). We've got a copy
available here:
http://download.zerotier.com/dev/llvm-g++-Xcode4.6.2.tar.bz2
Un-tar this into ext/ (it's excluded in .gitignore) and then 'make' in
ext/tap-mac/tuntap/src/tap.
Most users should not need to build tap-mac, since a binary is included
in ext/bin.
To build the UI you will need Qt version 5.0 or later. The Qt home must
be symbolically linked into "Qt" in the parent directory of the ZeroTier
One source tree. Then you can type "make mac-ui" and the UI should build.
You can also load the UI in Qt Creator and build/test it that way.
### Windows
There's a Visual Studio 2012 solution file in windows/ that can be used.
I've never tried it with MinGW, but theoretically this should be possible.
