Is this still a problem with the current release? I realise it's been a while since you posted this.

[yurivict]

The current release has the same problem:

error[E0425]: cannot find function `build_native` in this scope
   --> espanso-modulo/build.rs:496:3
    |
496 |   build_native();
    |   ^^^^^^^^^^^^ not found in this scope

For more information about this error, try `rustc --explain E0425`.
warning: `espanso-modulo` (build script) generated 1 warning
error: could not compile `espanso-modulo` (build script) due to previous error; 1 warning emitted

Is this function only defined for some OSes and not others?

[yurivict]

Yes, this is the problem.

[smeech]

There are entries in the code for Windows, macOS and Linux. Presumably FreeBSD isn't being identified as one of those. There's no mention of "freebsd" in the code so I suspect Espanso hasn't been written for that platform.

Patches like this should be applied:

Go for it!

I'll create a PR after I can build it.
Currently #1859 blocks it.
