Building on FreeBSD: Findings

[ehaupt]

I am aware that FreeBSD is not officially supported to run temporal. Nevertheless, I was trying to build the latest version on FreeBSD 14.0-ALPHA4 amd64. Here is how far I got:

Install dependencies:

pkg install -y gmake go120 git

Get the repository:

git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/temporalio/temporal.git

Try to build it with the provided GNU-Makefile:

cd temporal
ln -s /usr/local/bin/go120 /usr/local/bin/go
gmake

Output:

gmake: *** [Makefile:212: temporal-server] Error 1

It would be awesome if someone could have a look. Maybe it's easy to fix. If you need a VM, this vagrant box would suffice.
