A few questions about FreeBSD
Where/how should I obtain the source code (ex. through terminal, Download off website)
How (on ubuntu) should I build it?
Before I build it can I customize it (in other words is possible)?
Unix & Linux Stack Exchange is a question and answer site for users of Linux, FreeBSD and other Un*x-like operating systems. It only takes a minute to sign up.

/lib
, /usr/lib
, /usr/include
, etc., then point the cross-dev tools at those directories. Again, not advocating it, just pointing out it can be done.
