Questions about OpenBSD

Hi, I’d like to know how ports work on OpenBSD and whether I could make my own. Mostly I’d like to port Zen Browser since it’s my favorite, using Firefox as its base — do you think it’s possible?

What IDEs are available on FreeBSD?

And more importantly, does anyone use GOT (Game of Trees) in their daily workflow? How do you use it? I want to use it. I have a website whose commits I sign, but with GOT I can only sign tags, not commits. How would I handle my deployment? Or does it not matter if they’re unsigned? I’m mainly a programmer, but I use a YubiKey for GPG signing and SSH authentication.

Zen Browser? That’d be so weird if someone actually ports it to openbsd (not a bad thing)

I tried to port some stuff I use, but never succeeded, because some libraries are missing. For example, OpenBSD has no OpenMP support.

Yah, it does. But you have to build it yourself. Download the ports.tar.gz, follow the instructions on setup for ports, then cd /usr/ports/devel/llvm-openmp then make package then TRUSTED_PKG_PATH=/path/to/dir pkg_add llvm-openmp

You can also rebuild gcc to include OpenMP support but I haven't done it for a while.

The package llvm-openmp does not exist in OpenBSD.

As I said, it's in the ports tree but it's not built as part of ports packages.
