Turns out there is no Pike package for FreeBSD, no port, and the Pike git repository has a FreeBSD subdirectory last updated 22 years ago.

But ./configure && gmake && gmake install seemed to work, or at least it runs and nothing weird has happened so far.

pike used to be in bsd ports. probably the maintainer stopped working on that. it is still being tested. it builds but currently the testsuite fails:

http://pike.lysator.liu.se/development/pikefarm/8.0.xml

http://pike.lysator.liu.se/development/pikefarm/9.0.xml

if you dig through you'll find 3 or 4 failed tests out of thousands.
