Can I use programming language “L” on OpenBSD?
You will find support for many common programming languages either in the base system (more specifically in the baseXX.tgz and compXX.tgz file sets), or in the packages and ports system. It is recommended that you install the required file set or package containing the specific compiler you want to use, instead of building it from source. For some compilers, building from source requires a lot of system resources and is often unneeded unless you have specific needs or there is no package available. The following table attempts to give an overview of compilers for different languages, where you can find them, and whether there are any issues or limitations with them. Some of these are limited to certain platforms. This can be seen either by examining a search result through the ports tree, and noting what is mentioned in “Archs”, or by inspecting the port’s Makefile directly. In the latter case, look for lines containing ONLY_FOR_ARCHS, NOT_FOR_ARCHS, BROKEN, etc. Note: For ease of use,
