[question] consider *BSD support

[drscream]

As your luamake is used in many other LUA project might you consider looking into BSD (FreeBSD, NetBSD) support?

If it's not possible because of missing build (or development) machine I'm more than welcome to sponsor shell access.

Of course.

I would be very grateful if you could provide it.

You should have received an email with login details to two virtual machines. If you need anything feel free to contact me via mail.

[actboy168]

Thanks, if there is any progress I will sync in this issue.

NetBSD/FreeBSD is now supported, except

• [x] install script
• [x] bee.filewatch
• [ ] bee.filesystem.fullpath

[drscream]

Awesome thanks a lot! Maybe the bee.filewatch and bee.filesystem.fullpath are supported in the future as well :-)

I don't know much about netbsd, so I don't know how to implement fullpath. It's not an important api though, and it shouldn't matter much without it.

filewatch I already know how to implement it. But I need time.

Hi, could you also consider to support OpenBSD OS ?

I would like to build/use sumneko/lua-language-server with OpenBSD but for the moment, impossible without luamake support.

[actboy168]

@lcheylus Sorry, I don't have a test environment for OpenBSD. Maybe you can try to fix it and provide a pull request?

OK, I have a WIP to port luamake on OpenBSD :

I will create a PR to add OpenBSD support to your tool.

@lcheylus, were you able to resolve that issue by chance? There is a chance the fix may be portable to FreeBSD.

[anoduck]

@seannaswell, strange seeing you here.

@lcheylus Does this mean that you were successful at compiling luamake using gcc-11.2.0p3? If so, what alterations did you make to the installation script to achieve success? Did you just accept the same parameters for OpenBSD as used for NetBSD?

(grunts, nonchalantly)...this "making it compatible" game gets old after a while...

[seannaswell]

@anoduck, yeah, I'm also playing the making it compatible game...

[lcheylus]

@seannaswell No, I still have an issue with test_filewatch.lua test. I didn't continue my work on porting luamake to OpenBSD since several weeks.

@anoduck Yes, I have a successfull build of luamake using gcc-11.2.0p3 on OpenBSD. I created a new Ninja configuration file compile/ninja/openbsd.ninja and modified some commands for paths, includes and libs.

[anoduck]

@lcheylus Wow...totally awesome!

In CURRENT though, gcc-11.2.0p3 conflicts with gcc-libs-8.4.0p12 which is required by blas, cblas, lapack, and py3-numpy. Assuming luamake is not compatible with the older gcc-8.4, it might be a while until these required dependencies are updated to the newer version of gcc.

[lcheylus]

@actboy168 I built and test luamake/bee.lua with your last commits for OpenBSD support (https://github.com/actboy168/luamake/commit/b806f0f2de7a759b9f8e19a759578e3aeecd54e5) :

• build OK on OpenBSD-current/amd64 (future version 7.2)
• tests OK except for 3rd/bee.lua/test/test_filewatch.lua : same errors than with my port on OpenBSD

You were faster than me to commit OpenBSD support. I was just reviewing my code to create a pull-request, your modifications are very similar to mine.

[actboy168]

@lcheylus @seannaswell bee.lua now implements filewatch using libinotify-kqueue on BSD.Linux and BSD use the same code, but the results are not consistent. It might be a bug in libinotify-kqueue, or maybe I'm missing something. I might rewrite it with kqueue in the future.

[seannaswell]

Will give this a go here shortly, thanks for the update.

[anoduck]

So, it was not pretty, but it appears the compilation of lua-language-server was successful for me as well. Which, I am so totally stoked about.

So, grateful for the help of everyone in this thread. Much love and thanks to you all.

[seannaswell]

Just to confirm, bee.lua now appears to compile fine on FreeBSD. Many thanks.

[actboy168]

*BSD is now supported. If it still doesn't work, please create a new issue.

🎆 Let's hear it for @actboy168! Hip hip, hooray! Hip hip, hooray! 🎆
