Hi,

The official Prometheus github repo 
(https://github.com/prometheus/node_exporter) 
<https://github.com/prometheus/node_exporter> appears to suggest in multiple 
places that node_exporter is capable of working on OpenBSD.

But although they provide pre-compiled binaries for multiple platforms 
including NetBSD (https://github.com/prometheus/node_exporter/releases) 
<https://github.com/prometheus/node_exporter/releases> they seemingly don't 
provide a binary for OpenBSD.

So I tried downloading the source and compiling it, but I get a screenful of 
nasty sounding messages, e.g.:
Bad modifier: , ,$(shell $(GO) env GOPATH)))                                    
                                                             
Bad modifier: , ,$(shell $(GO) env GOPATH)))                                    
                                                             
No closing parenthesis in archive specification                                 
                                                             
*** Parse error: Error in archive specification: "(, \.'))" 
(Makefile.common:41)                                                            
 
*** Parse error: Need an operator in 'else' (Makefile.common:51)                
                                                             
*** Parse error: Need an operator in '' (Makefile.common:54)                    
                                                             
*** Parse error: Need an operator in '' (Makefile.common:55)                    
                                                             
*** Parse error: Need an operator in 'endif' (Makefile.common:61)               
                                                             
Bad modifier: , ,$(shell go env GOPATH)))                                       
                                                             
Bad modifier: , ,$(shell go env GOPATH))) 


Given the popularity of Prometheus, I'm sure someone on-list must be actively 
running it ?

Thanks !

Rachel
