I would also like to have a native FreeBSD version of J.
My experience with trying to get J running on FreeBSD
has also been messy an unsatisfactory. Another problem is that you
have to use the linux version of Java rather than the native FreeBSD
version. In the end I reverted back to running J on windows (XP)
but on another machine.
With a native FreeBSD port and the new facility in "cd",
it should also be possible to experiment with Qt as an alternative
GUI to Java.

Subject: Re: [Jgeneral] native freebsd buid
my J based application uses custom C/C++ libs. to run it on freebsd I
should compile my custom libs on linux (just because current J was
compiled on linux) instead of compiling them to native freebsd
libs... you'll have same situation for many math libs, for instance
neural net (libfann), etc. the freebsd distr may have already
compiled libfann, but I can't use it, I should compile it on linux,
then copy to freebsd, then use it.... it is so ugly :(
why there is no native J build for freebsd? Is it hard for
JSoftware to
support freebsd J dist?
I would be interested in hearing what problem would this solve,
given that freebsd can run linux binaries just fine.
