Lots of ports run under linux emulation. http://www.freebsd.org/ports/linux.html Did you get it working well under emulation on FreeBSD? If so, then it would be a good candidate for a port (if anyone wants to use it and do the porting) Tim To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message

The SAPDB "build tools" are extremely Linux-centric (they expect a LSB-compliant filesystem layout, and it's next to impossible to trick it, as paths are hardcoded everywhere). Furthermore, the actual SAPDB product is again, Linux-centric and has all the warts that one would expect. I eventually gave up and just ran it in Linux emulation -- much less effort than making a FreeBSD port. -- Matt Emmerton To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
SAPDB port for FreeBSD
Hello FreeBSD gurus, I was surprised; there are no SAPDB (www.sapdb.org) in http://www.freebsd.org/ports/databases.html list! Has someone tried to install SAPDB on FreeBSD? Is it possible to create new port? Thanks, - Pranas Baliuka M.Sc.
