# Using spmenu on FreeBSD
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
This article is a compatibility tracker for running spmenu on the FreeBSD
|
||||||
|
operating system.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Works
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Everything except what's listed in 'Doesn't work'
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Doesn't work
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- Wayland
|
||||||
|
- Reason: Depends on Linux kernel functions
|
||||||
|
- Solution: Disable Wayland support when compiling
|
||||||
|
- Profile menu
|
||||||
|
- Reason: Unknown
|
||||||
|
- Solution: Run your profile manager using a separate program or spmenu_run
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Bugs
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- For some reason, a weird white line can appear sometimes inside of the items.
|
||||||
|
This is likely a bug in the version of Cairo or Pango FreeBSD ships with. I have
|
||||||
|
also had this same issue occur on Void Linux, but all other distributions seem
|
||||||
|
fine.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Building
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Building works the exact same, except you must append `-Dwayland=false` to disable
|
||||||
|
Wayland support due to issues listed above.
