+A <a href="http://www.freshports.org/lang/cduce/">FreeBSD port</a> for
+CDuce 0.3.2 is now available (commit date : 2005-06-19)
+</p>
+<p>
+To install it follow those steps :</p>
+<ol>
+<li><p>Update your ports tree (using cvsup for example, just take a
+look at the handbook for more information.)</p></li>
+<li><p>Be sure every thing is up to date (use
+<tt>sysutils/portupgrade</tt> this is the simplest way) Be also sure
+that your pcre lib was build with UTF8 support (if it isn't installed,
+you don't have to care.) The best way is to deinstall pcre and install
+the slave port <tt>devel/pcre-utf8</tt>.</p></li>
+<li><p>Go to <tt>/usr/ports/lang/cduce</tt>, type "<tt>make all
+install clean</tt>" and this it (or if you have portupgrade,
+"<tt>portinstall lang/cduce</tt>" would be enough).</p></li>
+</ol>
+
+<p>As for most ocaml ports, be sure that all your already installed
+ports depending on ocaml are up to date (in particular, they need to
+be rebuild since the last ocaml update.)</p>
+
+<p>The best way to do that is with (again) portupgrade :
+<tt>portupgrade -fru ocaml\*</tt></p>
+
+<p>If you are not familiare with FreeBSD ports, be sure to read the
+FreeBSD <a
+href="http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/index.html">handbook</a>
+and the manpage <a
+href="http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=ports&amp;apropos=0&amp;sektion=0&amp;manpath=FreeBSD+5.4-RELEASE+and+Ports&amp;format=html">ports(7)</a>.
+Some articles in O'Reilly's <a
+href="http://www.onlamp.com/bsd/">OnLamp.com BSD DEVCENTER</a> may
+interest you also.</p>
+
+<p>OCaml's ports have been updated just before porting CDuce, so
+normaly, every thing needed to build CDuce's interface with ocaml is
+available (unless you build ocaml's port with option
+WITHOUT_COMPILER_LIB.)</p>
+
+<p>The CDuce's port has some options :</p>
+
+<table>
+<tr>
+<td valign="top">WITHOUT_OCURL</td>
+<td>disable support for ocurl (since there's no ports of netclient,
+this disable url supports.)<br />
+<em>default : ocurl enable</em></td>
+</tr>
+<tr>
+<td valign="top">WITH_OCAML_EXPAT</td>
+<td>use expat instead of PXP. PXP was made default, but since expat
+problem with external DTD is fixed, it will be the default in next
+ports release.<br />
+<em>default : expat disable</em></td>
+</tr>
+<tr>
+<td valign="top">WITHOUT_MLIFACE</td>
+<td>disable CDuce's ocaml interface.
+<em>default : MLIFACE enable</em></td>
+</tr>
+<tr>
+<td valign="top">NOPORTSDOCS</td>
+<td>disable build/install of documentation (standard ports'
+option)<br />
+<em>default : depending on you own ports configuration, probably docs
+enable.</em></td>
+</tr>
+</table>
