Thanks for sharing your solution! Not sure what is causing it (maybe it's OpenSSL binding related), and am currently not really targeting FreeBSD yet.

I wasn't fully ready with this tool for the Firefox Send release to be honest, would have loved to be able to provide better binaries and packages for more platforms, which are a work in progress.

If you believe you can improve the README with your solution, be sure to submit a [PR](https://gitlab.com/timvisee/ffsend/).

Happy to see it's working! :)

It's a BSD world thing :). Local (i.e. non-system) executables and libraries go under /usr/local around here (i.e. libraries under /usr/local/lib, binaries under /usr/local/bin and so on, the hierarchy under /usr/local has the same structure as that under /usr).

You can work around it by creating a cargo config with a wrapper. Eg:

cat ~/.cargo/config

  [target.x86_64-unknown-freebsd]
  linker = "/home/drewg123/bin/cargo-ld"

Where cargo-ld is just a wrapper:

  #!/bin/sh
  exec /usr/bin/ld -L/usr/local/lib $*

For proper formatting of code snippets, indent the entire snippet with two spaces.

So I can have /usr/local/local/local/local...? :)

Is there an autotools equivalent in Rust land?

Depends on what you mean exactly.
