Hi Mehmet,

You perhaps did not understand my question or I wasn't clear.

On previous versions of FreeBSD, issues with compilers have never been an
issue. However from FreeBSD 10, a lot has changed and it appears someone
needs to manually install a compiler.

I went around my problem by:

cd /usr/bin
ln -s clang++ gcc

Then I went into my tarball and did the configure/make/make install but the
compiler made so much noise that I am not even sure the application will
run as expected.
This is what i am trying to grasp from the people familiar with and using
FreeBSD 10.x. I did not need all those wikipedia entries:)
