influxdb v2 binaries for FreeBSD?

[hellvesper]

Proposal:
influxdb2 binaries for FreeBSD

Current behavior:
There is only v1 available at the moment

Desired behavior:
I want influxdb2 on FreeBSD

Alternatives considered:
Or build instructions for v2

@hellvesper thanks for the issue. Yes we would like to create binaries for additional OSes. We will make sure FreeBSD is added to the list.

In the meantime, have you tried building from source? https://github.com/influxdata/influxdb/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md#getting--building-from-source

Did you run into any problems?

@ayang64 FYI

Yes, I tried to build beta2 without luck, there was some problem with wasm-pack and workspaces. But current master builds without any problem, thanks!

We would like to offer these binaries, and would be happy to take such a contribution. However, we can add this any time of we GA 2.0 Open Source, so I am de-prioritizing this. Please leave a comment if you disagree with this decision.

I try to compile freebsd and run into a problem. Please see the output:

I don't know, what's wrong. The pkg-config.sh exist in that location:

root@influx:/home/influx/influxdb # ls -la /home/influx/influxdb/scripts/pkg-config.sh
-rwxr-xr-x  1 influx  influx  448 Jun  7 14:09 /home/influx/influxdb/scripts/pkg-config.sh

Any suggestion?

@GitKalle -- the problem is that the "magic number" (the first line of the script) is #!/bin/bash. FreeBSD, rightfully, puts bash in /usr/local/bin/bash.

If you change that it should work.

I think the solution to this might be to use env like:

#!/usr/bin/env bash

That should allow the script to run on FreeBSD, Linux, Mac, etc.

It compiles under FreeBSD when I make this change.

Perfect, it works. Thank you very much.

Perfect, it works. Thank you very much.

awesome! now submit a pull request fixing the #! line in all of the scripts to use /usr/bin/env instead of bash directly. i think that'd improve the portability of influxdb 2.
