This is how I build GoldED+ with CMake on FreeBSD 13.1-RELEASE:
git clone
https://github.com/golded-plus/golded-plus
cd golded-plus
cp -p golded3/mygolded.__h golded3/mygolded.h
cmake -B workdir --install-prefix=$HOME/opt/golded .
cmake --build workdir --parallel
cmake --install workdir
Clang outputs several harmless warnings as the GoldED code isn't 100% clean, but it builds OK.

Presumably Ports GCC is now defaulting to -fsigned-char for some reason.
I see you were able to resolve that in another message.

It's not necessary to build GoldED with GCC from Ports since it builds just fine with Clang 13.0 in FreeBSD base.
