FreeBSD dotNET Sourcebuild

This repo has been retired

FreeBSD 12.4+, 8GB RAM, 75GB free space
- more threads/RAM/space the faster
Make sure you understand "STABLE", "CURRENT", and "ABI" within the context of FreeBSD -> https://wiki.freebsd.org/Glossary
pkg install bash cmake icu libunwind krb5 openssl python libinotify llvm git terminfo-db node
- Only tested with OpenSSL 1.1.1 and LLVM15
optional: ninja curl
if in a jail: allow.mlock=true

Please check ./patches Some builds can use prep.sh some can not

sysctl 1 failed with 3 error
- Unknown cause. Old MSBuild would hit this when trying to reuse nodes. Try killall dotnet and try again
Random crash when building
- check dmesg if something was killed because of memory issues try increasing RAM (e.g., building in a VM) or increasing swap
- Something else? Let me know.
Hangs / Fails to finish
- Unknown cause. CTRL+T check for very long [uwait]. crossgen2 will sometimes do this. CTRL+C and try again
- If feeling brave, truss to help troubleshoot

Compile errors. Forwards declartions that never get resolved.
- See patch. Lazy and Ugly but works(tm)
  - Fix in runtime via OS Version based IFDEF?
ASLR crashes
- elfctl -e +noaslr dotnet OR disable globally
- Help fix in runtime?
OpenSSL3 vs OpenSSL1.1
- ~~OpenSSL1.1 appears to be a hard requirement AFAIK~~
  - Somewhat fixed in ports
- Help fix in runtime?
