Add support for FreeBSD #593
Comments
Well, PyPI doesn't allow pre-built wheels for BSDs, so there's no way we could possibly give first class support for them. If you'd be interested in porting Memray to FreeBSD, we'd be willing to accept patches for that, if they were small enough and unobtrusive enough. You could start by cloning the repo, deleting the line giving that error from the setup.py, and seeing what fails next. Our GitHub Actions workflows and cibuildwheel configuration should give a decent overview of what our native build dependencies are on each Linux distro we build on, and on macOS. The hardest parts to port by far will be support for
At a glance, it seems like Since none of the maintainers of this project use FreeBSD, we're highly unlikely to ever do this work ourselves. If you're interested in doing the porting, we can answer questions to help guide you along, and unstick you if you get stuck. If you're not interested in being the one to do that porting, we'll just close this issue. This isn't something we're ever likely to do ourselves. |
I'm going to close this for now, since I haven't heard anyone volunteer to do this work yet. If anyone wants to try to take it on, feel free to reach out for help or advice. |
Is there an existing proposal for this?
Is your feature request related to a problem?
Currently, trying to install this on FreeBSD 14 yields
RuntimeError: memray does not support this platform (freebsd14)
. I'm not sure if it requires anything specific from FreeBSD, but BSDs are similar to macOS.Describe the solution you'd like
