I suggest trying with Andris port (1.4.7.5) it is adapted to use TV 1.0.10 and I can help you to get it compiled.

Is not FreeBSD, is the version of gcc (2.7.x I guess).

I don't know the current state of RHIDE sources but the TV and SETEdit packages have now a configure script to avoid such a problems.

Is part of the GNU gettext package, install it in your system.

Internationalization. You can turn it of using the nointl.h file instead of intl.h.

Another issues of the configure process, -Werror isn't a good idea for distributions.

Here I think you have a serious problem, C++ supports it very well. You should take a better look at this problem.

You ovelooked some docs. Robert wasn't very clear in your explanations but he explains you:

1) Need to run make needed first to compile TV and libgdb.a/h (I don't remember what other things).
2)  You need gdb sources to create libgdb.a/h, Robert explains how to tell to the make files (using environment variables) the location of gdb
sources.

Well, here is my advice:
1) Get the TV 1.0.10 sources (http://members.xoom.com/stropea/tvision.html)
2) Install, configure and run make.

You'll most probably have problems during the configuration fase because I never tried with FreeBSD, but I'll help you to solve the problems.
That's the first step.

Greetings, SET
