|Ok I'll put it simply:
|
|
|I'm using OpenBSD 3.7-release i386 build #50: Sun Mar 20
|00:01:57 MST 2005
|
<...>
|And it was working.. not a beep, not a problem, not a single glitch..
|
|
|ON A MICROSOFT WINDOWS PLATFORM.... Windows XP SP2 to be precise..
|
|
|These three packages are written and designed for Unix/NIX
|based operating
|systems, by Open Source communities FOR Open Source/NIX based
|platforms...
|They are then PORTED to the win32 platform..
|
|And they install easier and more reliably?!?!??!?!??
|
|
|I'm awfully confused here... PLEASE help me... Short of
|turning to install
|FreeBSD 5.4 on my server.. But I'd really love to stick to OpenBSD3.7
Whoah, easy there fella!
Don't forget that this code is also PORTED to OpenBSD, which has a much smaller following than Windoze, and much less resource to patch and test ported applications.
OpenBSD is a whole different animal to a lot of the other Unix flavours - its probably the most secure of the lot, but as a result its development and testing take longer so it lags behind the other 'Nixes. This means that a lot of the bigger projects have only sketchy support for OpenBSD.
Do yourself a favour, nuke the stuff you've built from downloaded source and install the OpenBSD ports tree instead. Build the stuff you need from the ports tree - which guys before you have successfully built, patched and tested before merging into the ports tree.
It's a great OS, but don't expect to stray far from the beaten path with OpenBSD and not experience pain. I personally found it impossible to build MySQL from source under OpenBSD 3.7 (Sparc64), and had to resort to installing a binary package.
