Question: FreeBSD 11.X and FreeBSD 12.X
cookiemonsteruk opened this issue · 4 comments
Apologies if it is a dumb question but buildme.sh has freebsd documented OS and perl version documented up to 9: FreeBSD 8.X,9.X (Perl 5.12.4).
In order to build for freeBSD version 11.X or 12.X, which highest perl version do we need to test a build please?
I have no idea what exactly you're asking for. If you search issues and pull requests for freebsd, you should find some stuff (and names) around id in the closed tickets.
Ok Michael I could have been clearer. From your advice a search for pull requests for freebsd shows as latest, the commit #17 adds support for perl 5.26 and above on freebsdv11.X-amd64. This was a while ago but it helps.
The question was therefore: what is the current min and max perl version that we can build for freebsd, and what version of freebsd are supported.?
By the way I am not asking on behalf of a group, I'm trying to assist someone trying to build on freebsd 12.X and only perl 5.28 is available or higher.
No FreeBSD is supported out of the box. You'll have to compile binaries yourself. But I believe one of the guys had some recipe somewhere (I don't even know how FreeBSD manages applications...). But overall it should be compatible with at least Perl 5.30.
Brilliant, that is really helpful. Thanks Michael. I can work with that.
