Great to hear, thanks! > LinuxBIOS and ADLO on FreeBSD, I came across some problems. They all > come from the assumption that "make" is "GNU make" which isn't true on > the BSDs. I've uploaded some really hackish patches to [2]. Please post all patches to the list, with a Signed-off-by: http://linuxbios.org/index.php/Development_Guidelines#Sign-off_Procedure Much easier to review that way, and we don't commit any patches which are lacking a proper Signed-off-by line. > Unfortunately, I have no idea how to detect FreeBSD from a Makefile or a > Python script.

There are some good hints in the Debian GNU/kFreeBSD porting website: http://glibc-bsd.alioth.debian.org/porting/PORTING Partly Debian/kFreeBSD specific, but most of it should also be true for plain FreeBSD. Most of your patch is just make -> gmake, so it should be easy to use $(MAKE) everywhere and set that to "gmake" on FreeBSD and "make" everywhere else. > [1] http://linuxbios.org/index.php/Booting_FreeBSD_using_LinuxBIOS Nice, thanks for adding that page! Can you please attach a license to that wiki page? Either GPL, or Creative Commons, or public domain, anything free-ish will do. There are wiki templates you can use, e.g. {{GPL}}, {{PD-self}} etc. Thanks, Uwe. -- http://www.hermann-uwe.de | http://www.holsham-traders.de http://www.crazy-hacks.org | http://www.unmaintained-free-software.org
