Installing EMQX

[aperri]

I have tried to install EMQX https://www.emqx.io/docs/en/latest/ on FreeBSD 14 using the instructions on Github https://github.com/emqx/emqx
The instructions to Build from Source there are as follows:

git clone https://github.com/emqx/emqx.git​

cd emqx​

make​

_build/emqx/rel/emqx/bin/emqx console​

When I run the make it displays on the command line messages like these

    make: "/home/aperri/emqx/Makefile" line 1: Invalid line type
    make: "/home/aperri/emqx/Makefile" line 3: Invalid line type
    make: "/home/aperri/emqx/Makefile" line 5: Invalid line type
   make: "/home/aperri/emqx/Makefile" line 14: Invalid line type

What must I do to make the Makefile compatible with the gnu utilities I've installed on FreeBSD as show below?

[aperri@freebsd ~/emqx]$ pkg info autoconf​

[/code]
Or is there any other way I can install EMQX on FreeBSD 14?

For starters, use gmake, not make.

Yes I did that and got the following result

Perhaps the ./scripts/get-distro.sh needs to be modified for FreeBSD. Would you know how to do this?

#!/usr/bin/env bash

## This script prints Linux distro name and its version number
## e.g. macos, el8, ubuntu20.04

set -euo pipefail

Hello SirDice,

I've posted two threads pointing out the problems I'm having trying to get both MQTX and open62541 running on FreeBSD. Of the two applications, the most important one for me, is MQTX. Both of these software development tools, are are extensively used for distributed control systems. On Windows and Linux variants they run flawlessly. Since Beckhoff's TwinCat Control Software has an ASD protocol that can run on FreeBSD, I would like to have the two previously mentioned software tools run on FreeBSD as well. Could you help me iron out what I need to do to get them to run?

Today I easily installed EMQX Ver: 5.1.4 on my Debian 10 Linux machine using the command


sudo apt-get install emqx-5.1.4


I would like to be able to install EMQX Ver: 5.1.4 on FreeBSD just as easily.

Then if it’s not already ported to FreeBSD someone will have to volunteer to port it (and all its dependencies) to FreeBSD and then support and maintain those ports.

If it’s not already in ports that may mean that there’s not been enough interest from someone who can do it or it’s a lot of work.

If you don’t have the time or technical skills (I certainly do not!) then why not offer to pay someone to do it or at least offer a bounty.
