Like the man said in the link @osprey linked, going from src code to a working executable takes multiple steps.

Sharpen your building skill's first.
Then, before building, make sure you have all of the tools in the command line you'll need to build and compile.
FreeBSD uses the clang compiler and it's written in C.
Clang is installed as cc: the GNU compiler gcc is available in the Ports Collection.
While your at it, perhaps learn how to override the default src tree if need be. That is, if you have or want a custom src.
Tools/Interpreters you will need to use and be familiar with for a successful build.
Examples of using 'make' and other good tips on that page.
An education at the very least I'd say to a successful build.
