Direct from one of the main contributors (@janhenke) - "To my knowledge NetBSD is not started yet, OpenBSD has some initial commits but is not close to FreeBSD yet" . If BSD on .NET is of interest to you (or anyone else reading) and are willing to help out please introduce yourself in https://gitter.im/dotnet/coreclr https://gitter.im/dotnet/coreclr . Any help is appreciated on all systems, even if it is infrastructure, documentation or general marketing/pr. . Additionally if you want to see .NET on OpenBSD/NetBSD please jump in the channel and let us know how, why and where you will be using it. The team is quite small and wants to make sure efforts are focused correctly.

To further expand on that, I would say that currently we have ambitions for the work invested in the FreeBSD port not to be FreeBSD-specific, but also let the other BSDs benefit. I still think the main focus of the team is getting it working on FreeBSD, but if OpenBSD and NetBSD can gain from that effort we're more than willing to work together. So far, unfortunately, there has been little commits (or even testing) for the other BSDs. So if you want your BSD represented, it looks like you may have to step up and take some responsibility :)

    and boom. Basic platform support by @justincormack for NetBSD just got merged - https://github.com/dotnet/coreclr/pull/798/commits https://github.com/dotnet/coreclr/pull/798/commits

      There is a fair amount to do, mainly around unwind and contexts so far...

        Gather a team. Take bite-sized portions at a time. Be realistic. I think this github-issue here is full of good advice, so please do check it out: https://github.com/dotnet/coreclr/issues/803 https://github.com/dotnet/coreclr/issues/803
