[claudiozz]

Would it be possible to have FreeBSD binaries ?

I haven't found any FreeBSD binaries, but FreeBSD does have a linux compatability layer
so my question instead, assuming that native binaries will never happen, is:
How can I run NW.js with a linux compatability layer on FreeBSD?

[jaredallard]

+1 on this!

[TheDharc]

they are ignoring us completely

[jaredallard]

@TheDharc It's most likely possible. If I find myself some free time over my winter break (19 Dec-7th of Jan) I'll try to compile this on FreeBSD, since chromium can run on it.

I wouldn't be offended by the lack of response. @rogerwang is incredibly busy, and as a maintainer of a pretty big project myself, I understand how issues can be lost in the flood of issues & etc.

Thanks a lot!!!

@jaredallard Did you get a chance to try building it on FreeBSD?

Answering to @riatzukiza : the linux compatibility layer of FreeBSD could be used running nw.js apps, although you're very likely to be missing libraries.
Currently, only linux32 binaries seems to be recognized (10.3-RELEASE).
I was able to install nw-builder, generate my app. Running the produced binary, it fails loading libgconf-2.so.4. We're missing some linux-(c6|f10)-gconf port. Probably among others.

@faust64 Just a heads up, FreeBSD 11 has support for 64-bit linux.
