[Bug] nodejs on FreeBSD may need to be patched #900

Open

Description

This may be a hard work, I hope not.

FreeBSD version via uname -a:

FreeBSD vm1 10.1-RELEASE-p19 FreeBSD 10.1-RELEASE-p19 #0: Sat Aug 22 03:55:09 UTC 2015 [email protected]:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC amd64

nvm version:

$ git -C ~/.nvm status
HEAD detached at v0.29.0
nothing to commit, working directory clean

I found that I cannot do $ nvm install 0.12 on FreeBSD 10.1 amd64 with success, and the error messages came from compiler, both clang LLVM or gcc will have the same problem, and this is not nvm's problem but nvm looks to support FreeBSD in the codes:

https://github.com/creationix/nvm/blob/master/nvm.sh#L936

nvm_get_os() {
  local NVM_UNAME
  NVM_UNAME="$(uname -a)"
  local NVM_OS
  case "$NVM_UNAME" in
    Linux\ *) NVM_OS=linux ;;
    Darwin\ *) NVM_OS=darwin ;;
    SunOS\ *) NVM_OS=sunos ;;
    FreeBSD\ *) NVM_OS=freebsd ;;
  esac
  echo "$NVM_OS"
}

https://github.com/creationix/nvm/blob/master/nvm.sh#L1230-L1233

  if [ "_$NVM_OS" = "_freebsd" ]; then
    make='gmake'
    MAKE_CXX="CXX=c++"
  fi

So I think we should do something to work around.

The error message:

I remember that I installed it from ports and pkg with success before, so I copied the patch from FreeBSD's ports system
(https://www.freshports.org/www/node/files/patch-deps_v8_src_base_platform_platform-posix.cc)

/usr/ports/www/node012/files/patch-deps_v8_src_base_platform_platform-freebsd.cc
/usr/ports/www/node012/files/patch-deps_v8_src_base_platform_platform-posix.cc
