[Development] FreeBSD / Clang / Raspberry Pi

[Ralf Nolden]

Hi Sylvain,

You may want to get in contact with Oleksandr who has also done a porting:
http://kernelnomicon.org/?p=598

Olelksandr is in the process of merging his additions to the dev branch while 
I'm doing the ports integration in the meanwhile by using patches to the 
freebsd ports at https://freebsd.kde.org/ and merging our ports patches to Qt.

You may want to join us on #kde-freebsd so we can find the solution that we end 
up without any patches in ports. 

>From the qt perspective things like the pi are devices so for consistency that 
should land in the devices section (I think Oleksandr has done it that way, 
you may compare your patch with his one on his website). For any side effects, 
we should discuss whatever is the best solution here.

One thing that should work out of the box is using qtcreator.
