Done a bit more work on this now. * A shared library build of XORP is now OK on FreeBSD and Linux (and Windows Longhorn!!) * Most regression tests are run by the unit testing framework in Boost.Build. * It would be great if folk could volunteer to forward port the other regression tests to say Python or similar, as that's OS-neutral. Boost.Build is likely to have trouble dealing with shell scripts as they are not as portable as Python (when Python scripts are written to be portable, that is). * Intel's C++ compiler appears to build the first few modules just fine under FreeBSD, when Boost.Build is configured to use the "intel-linux" tool seet. However there are regression test failures I don't have free time to track down. Not all of the Windows build supports DLLs. In particular there are places where there would be circular dependencies introduced -- when building a DLL, Windows linkers need to see the "import library" for every other DLL which that DLL references. This can gradually be whittled down. Again it would be great if there were a shared Mercurial hosting space where I could publish this as I have no cgi-bin hosting at present. later BMS _______________________________________________ Xorp-hackers mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.ICSI.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/xorp-hackers
