Compiling Cinnamon Desktop

[Farhan Khan]

Hi,

Literally the only reason I haven't switched my desktop from Linux Mint to
FreeBSD is that I really like my Cinnamon theme. I would like to compile
the latest version of Cinnamon and run it on FreeBSD, but haven't been able
to figure out the process -- the one on their github repo is specific to
Linux and even then it appears to error out very early on (I can provide
the exact error if requested).

Are there any steps you have for compiling Cinnamon? I would really like to
try to do so myself so I can get myself a current version of Cinammon? I
believe the FreeBSD version is 2.4 and Cinnamon is up to 3.6 at this point.

Thanks!
