OpenBSD support? - Githubissues

anoduck commented 1 year ago

Was wondering if in the future support for OpenBSD could be implemented, since it really does not like to compile in OpenBSD in its current state. I can only assume it doesn't compile in FreeBSD either.

@anoduck No at this time.

FreeBSD could be supported in the future. I have created an experimental artifact for FreeBSD.

https://github.com/akiyosi/goneovim/actions/runs/4915257535

If you are interested, feedback on this experimental deliverable would be greatly appreciated. (I don't know if it works in the first place)

Sure, FreeBSD is a breeze compared to OpenBSD. I am working on reconfiguring my VNC configuration for my development box at the moment, when I get finished I will install FreeBSD in VirtualBox, and give it a go.

Ooops... I forgot to do this.

@akiyosi I have a FreeBSD virtual instance up and ready to roll. Go and qt5 are installed, and $GOPATH is configured. Just like OpenBSD, FreeBSD does not use GnuMake by default, so that was installed.

I wanted to run the build steps with you to make sure I did what I was supposed to do.

git switch freebsd-target - Configured the repo to use the branch that resulted from creation of the artifact.
gmake qt_bindings - resulted in a "Nothing left to do."
gmake deps - resulted in a $HOME/go/bin/qtmoc not found. I looked at the mod.go file and it is not listed as one of the dependencies. I searched for it in the FreeBSD ports, and around for it on github. I did not find anything.

Been a while since I had setup a FreeBSD system from scratch. Nice to know, I still got the touch.

A few updates from before...

2. `gmake qt_bindings` - resulted in a "Nothing left to do."

I understand now this was supposed to install go's bindings for the QT5 framework. So, I had to install the pkgconf package, export an additional variable export QT_PKG_CONFIG=true and then ran the installation command for the bindings. Which was export GO111MODULE=off; go get -v github.com/therecipe/qt/cmd/... && $(go env GOPATH)/bin/qtsetup test && $(go env GOPATH)/bin/qtsetup -test=false.

It is mostly completed with the installation of the bindings as of now, I do not foresee any other hangups with that part of the build. So, will try to build the deps for goneovim next.

@anoduck Hi, thanks for your feedback :) I have created a branch and build procedure for freebsd. I think you can build it this way.

Clone the goneovim repogitory
checkout freebsd-again branch: git checkout freebsd-again

Follow the build steps:

    cd {goneovim directory path}
    yes | sudo pkg install git go pkgconf
    yes | sudo pkg install devel/qt5
    go get github.com/akiyosi/qt/internal/cmd@v0.0.0-20230718095223-7e4e923f23fa
    go get github.com/akiyosi/qt/internal/binding/files/docs/5.12.0
    go get github.com/akiyosi/qt/internal/binding/files/docs/5.13.0
    go get github.com/akiyosi/qt/internal/cmd/moc@v0.0.0-20230718095223-7e4e923f23fa
    go install -v -tags=no_env github.com/akiyosi/qt/cmd/...
    go mod vendor
    git clone https://github.com/akiyosi/env_linux_amd64_513.git vendor/github.com/akiyosi/env_linux_amd64_513
    qtsetup -test=false
    qtmoc desktop ./cmd/goneovim
    go generate
    qtdeploy build freebsd ./cmd/goneovim

That is pretty cool little trick there, piping "yes" prior to pkg install .... I will have to remember that one.

OK, OK... I got lazy and turned your build instructions into a script. After all, I only had to fill in the goneovim directory.Then Viola.
