Hi all,

I am working with FreeBSD-11.1 in BeagleBone Black Rev.C.
In the last week I needed to have a webcam streaming from the BBB and i 
discovered
there are some issues with packages.

Problem. There are missing popular packages for ARM.
For example _ffmpeg_ and _vlc_ but also e.g. _kde..._

I was able to compile the following missing packages from ports
without making any change to the Makefiles.
with :
#> make -DBATCH install
#> make package
for packages:
-------------------------------------------------------------
vlc-2.2.8_6,4.txz
ffmpeg0-0.7.17_14,1.txz
opencv-core-3.4.1_1.txz
ffmpeg-4.0.1,1.txz
leptonica-1.76.0.txz
tesseract-3.05.02_1.txz
-------------------------------------------------------------

I compiled those packages directly on the BBB with the following caveat.
Before running the "make" i was checking all dependencies
of each package in FreshPorts and resolving them one by one
installing the relevant *packages*.

The reason for this is of course that BBB is very slow, if it had
to recursively compile all stuff it needed for e.g. ffmpg i could never 
make it.

So, if i can compile the packages the central system should also be
able to do it. Maybe there are some issues there.

Bye
