The changes Tomas is making have been integrated into the head repos and I am attempting to build from that using the instructions provided on the dotnetcore wiki. Nothing I am doing is unique. Anyone can pull corefx and coreclr repos and follow along in the instructions. https://github.com/dotnet/corefx/wiki/Building-.NET-Core--2.x-on-FreeBSD I was able to get everything to build on Windows last night, and have the SDK (corefx) built on FreeBSD. The runtime (coreclr) is failing in some sections of the test code. I forwarded my errors but have not gotten back to them yet. I am currently fighting with virtualbox to try and get shared folders working. It looks like I need to rebuild my guest additions from ports. Nothing for free my friend. XD I sincerely would like to help again with the Mono build but finding time will be difficult. I'd like to unburden you from the Mono 5 port so you can play on DNC! As soon as I have confirmed Tomas' build and finish a step in an unrelated project (https://reviews.freebsd.org/D12921), I will get back to your port (unless someone else can step in). Glad to here from you, Russ
