You can't compile anything HL-related straight out of the box on FreeBSD because HL is meant to run on Linux, and FreeBSD and Linux have different binary formats.

You can have a Linux HL server running on FreeBSD though, because FreeBSD knows how to *EMULATE* a Linux environment to make Linux binaries run.

But you can't compile a Linux binary on your FreeBSD box with your FreeBSD compiler, because you will get a FreeBSD binary, and not a Linux one - unless you do a "cross-compile", which is quite a complicated thing to do.
