freebsd: make check bench_bitcoin illegal instruction

OS: FreeBSD 14.2
Tag: Elements-23.2.4
Arch: x86_64

The bitcoind v23.2 bench_bitcoin runs fine.

does this also occur in 22.1.1 ?

22.1.1 doesn't seem to want to build:

[apoelstra]

You need to use boost 1.75 for 22.x. In Nix you can do this with boost = nixpkgs.boost175;. On Arch IIRC I would spin up an old Debian VM :P.

[grubles]

Got it to build with --disable-wallet. Looks like it may be crashing at the same spot?

@apoelstra well my intention is to see how elementsd runs on FreeBSD. But yeah 14.2 seems to have boost 1.85 which I guess is too new for 22.x.

[apoelstra]

If "how it runs on X" means "how it runs with the default version of all dependencies provided by X" then it pretty-much doesn't run anywhere :).

[grubles]

I hear you. FWIW that's the only boost-libs package available for FBSD 14.x, unless it's possible to finesse ports to build an older one. I'll try to see if I can get 1.75 on this machine.

[apoelstra]

Actually let me double-check on this. It looks like elements 0.21 worked for me with boost 1.81 (and does not work with 1.75).

[grubles]

Ok got a backtrace with 23.2.4 but no idea if it's helpful:

[delta1]

what about building with the vendored deps in depends ?

[grubles]

Doesn't look like the 22.1.1 depends supports FreeBSD, though it appears support was added more recently.

Invalid configuration `freebsd': machine `freebsd-unknown' not recognized

[apoelstra]

re dependencies, I was able to build elements 22.1.1 with clang and

db 4.8.30
boost 1.75.0
zlib 1.3.1
zeromq 4.3.5
miniupnpc 2.2.7
protobuf 25.4
libevent 2.1.12

But as I said above, I believe boost 1.81 would've worked fine (and maybe even later versions). miniupnpc 2.2.8 would not have worked. And your compilation error looked like it was related to db.

Not sure what to do about the arch being explicitly unsupported tho.

[grubles]

The db related build error seems to be a separate issue? With both elements-23.2.4 and 22.1.1 bench_bitcoin seems to crash at the same point.

Here is an lldb backtrace for 22.1.1.
