# 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.
