Dear Kurt, Like I said, I am happy to help! :-) Some points that might help:- Previously, FreeBSD has already ported the (older) GTK+ versions (see v0.8.1). Is it possible that this port can be re-used in some way to get up and running quicker? I can supply you with a JAR file that includes all of the dependencies. Using this JAR file on Ubuntu I can get jSearchmonkey running perfectly in just a few (pseudo) lines. For example:- > apt-get install *<JAVA Runtime v1.8>* > wget *<JAR file with all dependencies>* > jar -jar *searchmonkey-with-dependencies.jar* I know that you guys love to compile the source code but there might be another way? Alternatively, if you have a port of Maven then it should be a doddle to compile the JAVA from source...
