build failure on FreeBSD

version 0.3.2, freebsd 7.2, amd64

fyi: this seems to be an upstream issue http://code.google.com/p/v8/issues/detail?id=966

ok, this still seems to be an open upstream (v8) issue. so all other FreeBSD related node issues are basically blocked by this one atm.

all build issues on 64bit, yes, but others can probably be tested on 32bit, which I guess works (I have 64bit server machine, though). If needed, I could maybe install 32bit freebsd on virtual box on my netbook with 32bit W7 Starter, but with 1GB it would be so-so...

[japj]

this seems to be fixed upstream at http://code.google.com/p/v8/source/detail?r=7200
can you retest the node master tree (which includes v8 3.4)?

In master, there is another problem:

src/uv-freebsd.c: In function 'uv_exepath':
src/uv-freebsd.c:36: error: 'CTL_KERN' undeclared (first use in this function)
src/uv-freebsd.c:36: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once

Build failed:  -> task failed (err #2):

In v0.4, v8 still can't be compiled.

[japj]

ok, I filed an upstream libuv issue at joyent/libuv#93

on v0.4 we still use the 3.1 tree of v8, so it depends on upstream if they are going to fix the issue.

0.5 has a newer version of V8 which fixes this issue. We won't be fixing it for 0.4 but when 0.6 drops it will include the fix. Since 0.5 builds on FBSD it will be fixed going forward.
