Hi all! I'm trying to install this for FreeNAS but unfortunately I keep receiving errors. I've tried to install a variety of ways, the package doesn't exist, the build fails and I can't figure it out. Please help thanks!

On FreeBSD you can simply install it from Ports, or use a pkg.
But FreeNAS is very, very, very limited. They do NOT support installing anything besides the pre-packaged things.
My solution was to statically link & compile my program on a FreeBSD virtual machine, pack it up, move it to my FreeNAS box, and run it.
It was really tedious, so I moved to Linux + ZFS lately. I mean the file server part of FreeNAS is cool, but the box gets limited so much.

i attempted to do it from a jail inside FreeNAS using both PKG and Ports... I'm not sure if i did something wrong but i got to a "make install clean" command and it failed partway through. Can you offer any guidance? All I received when I tried to do pkg was a there is no package with that name and i tried a ton of variations. can you give me a guide? thank you!
