Build and install the `lame` source port.

    sudo portsnap fetch
    bash -c 'if [[ ! -e /usr/ports ]]; then sudo portsnap extract; fi'
    sudo portsnap update
    LASTDIR="`pwd`"
    cd /usr/ports/audio/lame
    sudo make install
    cd "LASTDIR"

FreeBSD is now prepared to build HandBrake. See [Building HandBrake for BSD](build-bsd.html) for further instructions.
