[This goes also directly to Bryan since I do not know if he reads sage- devel, replies should stay on sage-devel]
Hi, I just noticed that Bryan updated my FreeBSD porting wiki page. It has not been updated in a while, but that is my fault since I have not been updating the wiki page about the ongoing work I have been doing. A couple remarks: * Nearly everything happening for the Solaris port also fixes *BSD issues * the goal is to compile natively without revert to tricks like linking g$FOO to $FOO and any updated spkg will be tested on Solaris. * Bryan is using an ancient 2.10.2 release, the current 3.0.2 release has many of those issues fixed and 3.0.3 will have even more fixes * It would help a lot if somebody made a simple 32 and/or 64 bit 6.3 and/or 7.0 FreeBSD VMWare image since we need to automatically test and the easiest way to do that is via VMWare image that William and I integrate into the test farm * Any fix should be pushed into upstream, i.e. the eclib gmake dependency has already been fixed in my personal tree and will be part of 3.0.3. There should be zero need to do anything to the spkg to get it to compile on *BSD or Solaris, *any* GNUism will be exterminated from the tree and if that is too much work we will call tools like gnumake automatically. * the wiki is *not* the place to tell us that somebody wants to work on a port. This kind of intent should be declared here in sage-devel. I watch *every* wiki edit, so I saw Bryan making changes, but this could have easily been missed by others.
