Support for FreeBSD #2537
Description
Description
Dear all,
I worked the last days on a port for FreeBSD so users can easily install vp using pkg install vite-plus.
I have a the ports building fine, but some patches needed to be applied.
Is the project open so I can create a pull request to get that patches included here upstream?
I yes I would prepare a pull request and would link it to this issue.
Suggested solution
I will provide a pull request if patches for FreeBSD are welcome.
One patch goes into this repo
The second patch would be for:
https://github.com/voidzero-dev/vite-task/tree/main/crates/fspy

Thanks for bringing this up! Rolldown already provides a prebuilt binary for FreeBSD x64 as an experimental platform, so I think it makes sense for Vite+ to support it as well.
Contributions to add FreeBSD support are welcome!
For reference: Rolldown supported platforms

I'd love to try fixing this as my first contribution if no one else is on it. Is it good to go?

@lvalue-dev
I have it already implemented, currently porting the changes I did to match the main branch.
Maybe you wait a little bit till my pull request is ready.
There will be more then enough work left for you ;)
My patch is adding a no-op backend for FreeBSD. My target was only to get vp to compile on FreeBSD:
https://gitlab.fechner.net/mfechner/Gitlab/-/commit/66401f2cf69e42a2e9fb8bccb231522558c9d09e
and that
vp buildworks for a project I maintain in the FreeBSD ports which switch from npm to vp.devel/vite-plus: added vite-plus 0.2.9

@fengmk2, @lvalue-dev do you think we can continue here to bring FreeBSD support to vite-plus?

I updated the pull request here:
#2552
I think with that change I should make a FreeBSD port for the new vite-plus version available that does not require any additional patches (after it is released of course ;) ).
Would be nice if you could review this.
