Klipper on FreeBSD

I tried adding linux_enable=“YES” to /etc/rc.conf, but it didn’t help. I have a feeling that would only help if I already had a linux binary (just guessing), but in my case, the c_helper.so module compilation just fails.

I dug out the compile command from klipper/klippy/chelper/init.py, and executed it, and got the same error.

Could chelper be changed, so that it wouldn’t contain any linux system call?
