Anybody tried to use Linux application from gizmo project on FreeBSD?

And closed source.  Could be more work than you expect.

List of dependencies is quite small, but it needs libgconf (GConf2)
and I am not sure which port (if any) provides it.

devel/gconf2

I don't think it will working unless someone create a new linux-gconf2 port. But I don't know if there will be problem(s) for linux-gconf2 and gconf2 to be exist at the same time.

That's not a problem. A linux lib needs to be installed into LINUXBASE, and this is different from LOCALBASE.

It's not library that I am thinking about. ;-) Just that gconf settings when applications install in etc/gconf/* and storage in ~/.gconf*. Do we want gconf settings to be into one for linux-* and native? Or not? Sometime it can causes rare problem like old linux-gnome-volume-manager (non-exist, just example) and new gnome-volume-manager for not able to share ~/.gconf*.

I guess I could try to fetch a fedora package and try.
I am just not sure how to install it properly, never worked on ports for Linux binaries before.

Have a look at the linux-jpeg or linux-glib ports. It's not very hard

Also, be sure to check in our gconf2 and bsd.gnome.mk (GCONF_SCHEMAS) for how our ports handle with gconf stuff.

Cheers,
Mezz

Bye,
