Hi

I’m planning to build gRPC (version v1.66.0) on FreeBSD (v13.2). Is gRPC officially supported on FreeBSD? Are there any known issues or patches required for a successful build? Could you provide detailed build steps, including necessary dependencies (e.g., compilers, libraries like Protobuf, OpenSSL)? Additionally, are there any specific configurations, tools, or tips to ensure a smooth build and runtime experience on FreeBSD?

Not "officially supported" as per:
