 - To make your build sharable and capable of working on other devices, you must use `LLAMA_PORTABLE=1`
 - After all binaries are built, you can run the python script with the command `python koboldcpp.py --model [ggml_model.gguf]` (and add `--gpulayers (number of layer)` if you wish to offload layers to GPU).
 
+### Compiling on OpenBSD
+- Clone the repo with `git clone https://github.com/LostRuins/koboldcpp.git`
+- the project uses Gnu Makefile format, so you will need gmake: `pkg_add gmake`
+- compiling vulkan support
+  - you will require libvulkan, this is included in the vulkan-loader package, which is a dependency of the vulkan-tools package: `pkg_add vulkan-tools` or `pkg_add vulkan-loader`
+  - you will require glslc, this is incliuded in the shaderc package: `pkg_add shaderc`
+  - if your gmake terminates with "fatal error: 'ggml-vulkan-shaders.hpp' file not found" the problem is probably that glslc is not installed. See above.
+  - OpenBSD's default datasize limit may prevent compiliation `ulimit -d 8388608` should work
+  - compile using `gmake LLAMA_VULKAN=1`
+- After all binaries are built, you can run the python script with the command `python3 koboldcpp.py --model [ggml_model.gguf]`
