I begin to question if we've misunderstood what is possible: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/devops/pipelines/agents/hosted?view=azure-devops&tabs=yaml ?

[devnexen]

Yes just saw this list too so far only cirrus seems to provide freebsd

[devnexen]

@krakjoe only repository owners can register to Cirrus.

@devnexen If I've done it right, it should be enabled now.

[krakjoe]

Sending extra perseverance to @devnexen ... this is the tricky bit.

Don't worry about noise and reopening/closing/generally making a mess while you're getting this to work ... experience tells us there isn't really another way ...

[nikic]

For gd, it should be enough to specify --enable-gd, there is no need to install libgd. I think that should avoid the build error you saw (though the recently landed 28e7add might address it as well).

[devnexen]

@krakjoe would it sound as a nice starting point as is ?

[krakjoe]

Well, it didn't complete a build, and I see a number of failures around various extensions ...

It would be good if we could get to the point where the build completes first of all, then we need to have a look at what tests are failing, and the reasons for those failures - in some cases we might need a variation test, in other cases there might be something we need to do on the host ...

When we have a build that runs to completion, I'll join in the with test changes ...

[nikic]

There are two remaining issues here. One is two test failures in intl, probably with the same root cause:

FAIL MessageFormat accepts IntlCalendar args [ext/intl/tests/msgfmt_format_intlcalendar_variant4.phpt] 

I have already checked that this difference is not related to the use of ICU 69.1.

The other is that the parallel test running (-j2) ends up hanging. The non-parallel runner works fine.

[nikic]

I'm going to merge this in the hope that the test running hang is resolved ... unfortunately it's intermittent, so it's hard to say whether it's really fixed or not. I'll revert if it's not fixed.

@devnexen thanks for bringing this to completion with the help of Nikita, sorry I didn't find time to join in, was working on other things ... but this is great 👍

[devnexen]

more kudos to nikic he did more here :-)
