Please make it buildable with regular node, not bun #3877
Description
Description
Bun requires to have bun available in order to build bun, see oven-sh/bun#22991
This makes it a no-go on non-Linux systems, like FreeBSD.
Is there a way to build opencode with regular NodeJS?

if you look at the project AGENTS.md, it does not look like being the technical direction of the project so I guess the chance to switch to node are near 0.

we are pretty tied into bun so i dont expect this to change, most likely bun will have freebsd support at some point:

Users are asking for the Open Code port on FreeBSD.
Are you guys distriburing the pre-built version, like github-copilot-cli does? copilot-cli only installs 15 files, including 3 binary dependencies that we build.
Besides JS scripts and other non-platform dependent files, are there any binaries required to run Open Code?
Can node run it once it is built?

We ship an executable there aren't any node deps

There have been updates on the Bun side since the last comment. May you re-open this issue and keep an eye for Bun on FreeBSD? :)
Thank you!

bun is now available as a freebsd port under lang/bun
