Has someone tried to install SAPDB on FreeBSD? Is it possible to create new port? sure, if it runs on FreeBSD. Look for the porting handbook. If you're the only one that wants to use it, you may have to do the porting. I tried about a year or so ago, but gave up. 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. 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
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.
