The low-level I/O facility needs to be written/customized for each platform so far. Linux uses epoll, Solaris uses ECF, Windows uses IOCP. The job for FreeBSD would be (first) to look at how to do this most effectively. If you need the client only, select() would be least common denominator and could be added fairly easily. You'd want to look at the Poller class and PollerHandle (and DispatchHandle) for some background info. The other potential problems are the things in the qpid/cpp/src/qpid/sys/posix subdirectories - make sure that what was done on Linux/Solaris is valid for FreeBSD as well - threads, timers, etc. I expect that you won't find much trouble there. Let us know how you make out. -Steve
