Hello, Pavel.

I have rather old version of TheIDE (oct'2013) running under FreeBSD 9.
After updating sources to latest build 7629, I've tried to rebuild TheIDE.
New executable fails to start

The TheIDE uses -O3 optimization level for GCC builder in case of "Optimize for speed" option, which also used for Optimal build mode. In my experience, the -O3 optimization level could cause runtime errors. I think, you could try to build with Size build mode or change -O3 to -O2 for GCC build method.

Currently, I run FreeBSD 10.0-RELEASE-p9 amd64 version. For purpose of testing, I created devel/upp-nightly port, based on devel/upp. It uses Nightly builds source archives, with some development changes (like depending on devel/libexecinfo) from stable version. I created a package with using poudriere on FreeBSD 9.3-RELEASE-p2 amd64 clean environment.

I think, if first method doesn't work, you could try to build devel/upp-nightly port (e.g. by using make or portmaster: portmaster -Bd devel/upp-nightly). It may install necessary dependencies. Also you could try to use already built package, in case of amd64 version (but you might need to install pkg and convert package database to use *.txz package format): pkg add upp-nightly-7697.txz).

If mentioned methods doesn't work, you could try to use newer GCC version (e.g. current default 4.8 version), by adding USE_GCC=yes (USE_GCC=4.8) or changing CC, CXX, etc. values for /etc/make.conf file. You might need to update current ports (e.g. by using portsnap command: portsnap fetch update) to build it (but take a look at /usr/ports/UPDATING file about changes for currently installed software). Remember to comment out USE_GCC line after building of the devel/upp-nightly port, if you don't intend to use newer GCC for building other ports. (Edit (2016.12.09): The method about USE_GCC=yes maybe outdated for latest version of port(s), because of USES+=compiler:c++11-lib usage.)

The other method is updating to FreeBSD 10.0-RELEASE version, where LLVM/Clang 3.3 is default compiler (e.g. by using freebsd-update command), but this may require to rebuild/reinstall used software.

(Edit: Previous information may be outdated for newer FreeBSD versions.)
