Hi Rob, thanks for your reply,

I don't know what to say, it's a fresh OS install, I added the dependencies
packages listed in the wiki, then cloned the repo from the above link. My only
guess is that the FreeBSD env may trigger the anomaly.

I tried compiling from the tarball, but I hit another problem:

Linking clang.freebsd..exe.release/umonitor
gmake[1]: Leaving directory '/usr/home/sysop/sbbs3/src/sbbs3/umonitor'
ln -sfr clang.freebsd..exe.release/* /sbbs/exec
ln: illegal option -- r
usage: ln [-s [-F] | -L | -P] [-f | -i] [-hnv] source_file [target_file]
       ln [-s [-F] | -L | -P] [-f | -i] [-hnv] source_file ... target_dir
       link source_file target_file
gmake: *** [targets.mk:113: symlinks] Error 1

This seems related to FreeBSD's ln version/implementation, missing the option.

Looks like FreeBSD may be too much of niche in terms of installations/testing?
I'd be happy to contribute working on a 32bit VM (mostly to speed up the
compiling) but looks like I may have to switch the OS to Debian to at least get
things running and get acquainted with Synchronet itself.

Thanks again and please let me know if you'd be available/willing to continue
investigating the FreeBSD testing together, if here or in other channels, happy
to do what I can.

p.s.
....up the irons! \m/
