# PORTING MG AND USING LIBBSD
I've maintained and ported mg for quite some time now and at first it
was easy recently it got harder and harder since it was a moving
target. Especially the inclusion of some system specific libraries since
about 2 years ago made it too much of an effort for my humble coding
skills.
So recently Jasper Lievisse Adriaanse asked me to try it again and I
restarted working on the project and ran into exactly the same problems
again. While googling for solutions I ran into libbsd:
http://libbsd.freedesktop.org/wiki/
It's a porting library for OpenBSD code! And after installing that it
was a piece of pie to get mg ported again.
## PORTING TO ALL OTHER PLATFORMS
Okay, that was debian. Now I have to get the rest of all the previously
suported platforms working again. All help is welcome and as always:
Please provide patches that do not break stuff for other platforms.
## BUILDING MG
So, basic instructions for building mg:
- Get libbsd installed.
- Run the following commands:
```
make
sudo make install
```
## USING CVS
This code is the cvs checkout from the OpenBSD project so if you install
cvs you can see what I changed to port mg. Like this:
```
cvs diff -uw
```
## ABOUT fgetln()
Incase you are wondering about that deprecation warning, here is a nice explanation about why it is hard to fix:
