BillyJoeBob: following the compile instructions on github, can you successfully compile the core cli software? rule that out first

That's the cli compile

BillyJoeBob: did you follow the steps here? github.com/monero-project/monero/#on-freebsd

which version of freebsd?

13.2-p2

i'm checking. slow system. i will chime in later sometime

Mine fails too. There are boost warnings near-ish the beginning. I'm going to fiddle around

these boost warnings: paste.debian.net/hidden/b2ff2802

that was built with older dependencies (not much older), and it failed. but i upgraded packages, taking boost from 1.81 to 1.82 and a couple others that don't seem noteworthy, and i built again and it failed in the same place. i will try again single threaded, but otherwise i am out of my league, i think

same linker error, same spot

You *probably* want to monkey around with ea_config.h, here:

#if !(!defined __GLIBC__ || !defined __GNUC__ || defined __MINGW32__ || defined __MINGW64__ || defined __ANDROID__ || defined __NetBSD__)

thank you. slightly different ending to the failed compilation, but the same error persists

i think i f'ed up. doing over. /me crosses fingers

nope.. no luck

scoobybejesus: try building with -DSTACK_TRACE:BOOL=OFF
