Hi both,

Thanks for looking into this issue.

From my point of view TrueOS is just a convenient way to quickly install FreeBSD with a usable desktop. Klugier: Please note that the BSD world is not anywhere nearly as fragmented as Linux world is. If FreeBSD is supported, the coverage is already more than adequate. OpenBSD support would be nice, but likely out of reach for now. Please read more on that below.

Supporting TrueOS as a separate system from FreeBSD is in my opinion both unnecessary and wasting energy. If TrueOS differs from FreeBSD in a bad way, just forget TrueOS. However, it would be nice to have FreeBSD working. When I get to the office on Monday, I will try to install a clean FreeBSD and test with that instead of TrueOS. (Or maybe someone have done it already???)

I also did a test installation of OpenBSD on Friday, but first found out that the default gcc version on OpenBSD is more or less about ten years old (4.2.x) and no way it's going to support C++11. Also, after installing clang -- which is eventually going to replace gcc on OpenBSD too -- I ran in trouble with problems on thread local storage not being supported. At least that's what the clang compiler thought when compiling Core. I could not really figure out if this is really the case with OpenBSD, or just a clang compatibility issue, but never the less, Upp is not going to work on OpenBSD without substantial effort I guess.

Thanks and best regards,

Tom
