For a 64-bit build it's very important that you include libraspberrypi-dev because if this package is not installed then the file /usr/include/bcm_host.h is not present on the filesystem. This leads to CMake not detecting that it's indeed a Raspberry Pi and it will attempt to make a regular Linux build instead.

Use pkg to install the dependencies:

pkg install llvm-devel git pkgconf cmake gettext harfbuzz icu sdl2 ffmpeg freeimage libgit2 pugixml poppler

Clang/LLVM and curl should already be included in the base OS installation.
**NetBSD**
Use pkgin to install the dependencies:
```
pkgin install clang git cmake gettext pkgconf SDL2 ffmpeg4 freeimage libgit2 pugixml poppler-cpp
```
NetBSD ships with GCC by default, and although you should be able to use Clang/LLVM, it's probably easier to just stick to the default compiler environment. The reason why the clang package needs to be installed is to get clang-format onto the system.
**OpenBSD**
Use pkg_add to install the dependencies:
```
pkg_add clang-tools-extra cmake gettext pkgconf sdl2 ffmpeg freeimage libgit2 poppler
```
In the same manner as for FreeBSD, Clang/LLVM and curl should already be installed by default.
The pugixml library does exist in the package collection but somehow this version is not properly detected by CMake, so you need to compile this manually as well:
```
git clone https://github.com/zeux/pugixml.git
cd pugixml
git checkout v1.10
cmake .
make
make install
```

On Linux specifically you can build with the DEINIT_ON_LAUNCH option which will deinit the renderer, application window and audio when an emulator is launched. This makes it possible to use ES-DE with KMS/direct framebuffer access to for example make ES-DE a drop-in replacement for RetroPie EmulationStation:

ES-DE (EmulationStation Desktop Edition) is a frontend for browsing and launching games from your multi-platform collection.
It's officially supported on Linux, macOS, Windows and Android but can also be used on BSD Unix and the Raspberry Pi if you build it yourself from source code.

* PATH - path to a resource. If the first character is a tilde (`~`) then it will be expanded to the user's home directory (`$HOME` for Linux, BSD Unix and macOS and `%HOMEPATH%` for Windows) unless overridden using the --home command line option.
