Dotnet tutorial

Alain De Vos · Mar 17, 2023

A tutorial on how to install dotnet-sdk-6.0 or dotnet-sdk-7.0 including all relevant packages&dependencies would be nice.
Currently there is,

Releases · sec/dotnet-core-freebsd-source-build

Collection of script to build .NET Core under FreeBSD OS (with binary releases) - sec/dotnet-core-freebsd-source-build

github.com

Releases · Thefrank/dotnet-freebsd-crossbuild

Bash script and patches for building dotNET for FreeBSD under Linux - Thefrank/dotnet-freebsd-crossbuild

github.com

But it's all not so clear. A port would be nice.

I tried myself uses their git repos but failed.

Yes, would be great to be able to do .NET development, including running SQL Server for Linux using the Linuxulator, if it's even possible

I've gotten sec's working in the past, but lately just stick to their releases. The sdk and runtime both work just fine. Nuget packages that depend on native interop (e.g. the SQLite package) would need to be built separately for FreeBSD, but anything that is pure .NET works just fine.

I've got a backlog task coming up soon to build a minimal jail that will have only the dotnet runtime library and our application.

The issue to watch is https://github.com/dotnet/runtime/issues/14537

Besides the technical fact there might be some issues people do not think about.
Wrote some software in the past with c# as a frontend for the company dns ( named ). Worked well but as soon as one wants to create spreadsheets or other office kind of things you might need licenses. It is not that open as it looks.

There is Kotlin or Ocaml ?

It was a choice made years ago. The backend was written in Perl

Install .NET SDK (6, 7, 8) on FreeBSD 14

As at time of writing, there is no official port of the newer .NET SDKs to FreeBSD. For now, we can obtain a FreeBSD version of the .NET SDK via a Github repository, linked here - https://github.com/sec/dotnet-core-freebsd-source-build/releases On this page, find and download the corresponding...
