install fails on freebsd

[devosalain]

Due to linux code in nimlsp you cannot install nimlsp on freebsd.

I use nimlsp on FreeBSD, but you have to install choosenim:

nimble install choosenim
choosenim update stable
nimble install nimlsp

Have you tried explicitSourcePath? This seems very similar to issues like this on other OSes

Indeed, with explicitSourcePath it's ok.
