This port is CLI only and leaves out the MakeMKV GUI, because
makemkvcon (closed source Linux binary) won't run in guiserver
mode.
Also, as described in the pkg-message, it requires a custom
FreeBSD kernel with the Linux SCSI generic drivers and has to
be build by the final user to comply with the license terms.
Work is ongoing with the author to have a FreeBSD native version
of this port in the future.

This is the FreeBSD Ports Collection. For an easy to use
WEB-based interface to it, please see:
https://www.FreeBSD.org/ports
For general information on the Ports Collection, please see the
FreeBSD Handbook ports section which is available from:
https://www.FreeBSD.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/ports.html
for the latest official version
or:
The ports(7) manual page (man ports).
These will explain how to use ports and packages.
If you would like to search for a port, you can do so easily by
saying (in /usr/ports):
make search name="<name>"
or:
make search key="<keyword>"
which will generate a list of all ports matching <name> or <keyword>.
make search also supports wildcards, such as:
make search name="gtk*"

NOTE: This tree will GROW significantly in size during normal usage!
The distribution tar files can and do accumulate in /usr/ports/distfiles,
and the individual ports will also use up lots of space in their work
subdirectories unless you remember to "make clean" after you're done
building a given port. /usr/ports/distfiles can also be periodically
cleaned without ill-effect.
