Re: Is there no working clang in FreeBSD/RISC-V's ports?

Hi everybody,


meanwhile I’ve found out that there is no longer a clang-port available, it got merged back into the llvm-devel port:

https://www.freshports.org/devel/llvm-devel/ <https://www.freshports.org/devel/llvm-devel/> (See port moves)


So I changed GNUstep’s install-dependencies-freebsd script to require the llvm-devel port.

This worked fine on FreeBSD/amd64 inside Virtual Box but not for FreeBSD/RISC-V in QEMU:

pkg: No packages available to install matching 'llvm-devel' have been found in the repositories


So is there really no llvm-devel port available for FreeBSD/RISC-V?


Another thing that caught my attention is, that freshports.org never seems to mention any RISC-V availability. I thought that with FreeBSD 13 the RISC-V architecture moved to Tier-2 support ( https://wiki.freebsd.org/riscv#Current_Status <https://wiki.freebsd.org/riscv#Current_Status> ). Doesn’t that mean that there should be such ports available for RISC-V? 

Quote from https://docs.freebsd.org/en/articles/committers-guide/#archs <https://docs.freebsd.org/en/articles/committers-guide/#archs>

	• Tier 2 platforms should be self-hosting either via the in-tree toolchain or an external toolchain. If an external toolchain is required, official binary packages for an external toolchain will be provided.

doesn’t specifically that mean that the llvm-devel port should be available? Just asking …


Kind regards,

	Lars

While this was mainly a no-brainer for Linux-Fedora/RISC-V (some minor tweaks were necessary), it seems on the FreeBSD side are some more serious efforts necessary. I think this will not be my last E-Mail in this regard to the list. Hope you can stand this!
