pkg-fetch cannot be built for freebsd, time to switch from pkg-fetch for freebsd?

[srappan]

Unfortunatley, the project seems uninterested to support freebsd further, might be time to switch alternative for the pkg-fetch.

Do you have ideas about pkg alternatives for freebsd?

[Maxou44]

BTW it looks like a compilation issue on your side, try to install gcc / g++ / clang to build the package yourself

Unfortunately now it just stalls. Hasn't progressed for over an hour.

Maybe use docker could be a great solution for you ? 🥺

[srappan]

Possibly, but I actually couldn't find the docker version anywhere 😅

[Maxou44]

A "real" docker support is planned in the roadmap 😅

[srappan]

Ah thats probably why haha

[Maxou44]

You can try this one https://github.com/magn2o/unicorn-docker

[srappan]

Thanks! i'll give it ago. I think i'll leave this issue open, just so people don't get stuck on compiling like I did and smashing their heads against their desk till they get a concussion haha
