Building with sbcl on OpenBSD fails about nyxt HOT 5 CLOSED

Thank you for your answer.

I proceeded to try to build nyxt with the gmake all command and I was a bit annoyed because the submodules are being completely refreshed each times, so patching them "ad-hoc" was not a trivial matter, I just created symbolic links for the libpango librairies and the build proceeds until the same point as it did before, but this time the error was more verbose and I could see that it was caused by the missing libfixposix.

I think I will stop any effort to make it build on OpenBSD for now because this dependency seems to be pretty bad in terms of security. And especially given your mention of the other issue with MAP_STACK it may take even more efforts to make work, I don't have that kind of time right now.

Anyway, keep on the good, nyxt is an amazing project I've been following for years and I'll look forward to the day OpenBSD will receive more love!

@nbonfils did you read the INSTALL file? If your goal is to install from source and you fetched Nyxt via git then you should run make all, which fetches the necessary git submodules.

With respect to the shared object locations, it is a common task to patch those. You need to show me the full log for me to be able to give a meaningful suggestion.

From earlier reports, I suspect that it may not be an easy task. See #2968.

I'm closing this issue since we don't plan to officially support OpenBSD soon. Still, feel free to come back with questions.

As a reference for future attempts, you could have run make all NYXT_SUBMODULES=false.

I don't know about the differences between OpenBSD and FreeBSD, but it has been reported that Nyxt compiles on FreeBSD.
