# 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.
