I'd prefer to see an There is a german saying "Schuster, bleib bei Deinen Leisten", which means something like "Only do, what you are good at". FreeBSD is good at the i386 side. Crossplatform is not really one of FreeBSD's strongest sides. Thats where NetBSD is *the* player. And there is a port to that Compaq ipaq thingy almost finished. And to RiscPC and DNARD (Shark) and CATS and Acorn A7000 and some intel developer boards, just to mention (Strong)ARM based systems supported by NetBSD. At the end a FreeBSD port will be based on the NetBSD port. Why should we split the BSD camp even more? But thats just my humble opinion. Btw. I run FreeBSD on my PC and NetBSD on my Shark. So, I do know and love both sides. -- Tom To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message

In general: No. If your c-files compile without *any* "#include ", then it could be possible. -- Tom To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message

Well, imagine, the object files use some stuff from libc. How will you match that from Linux' to our libc? I think, you have to use the Linux development tools (cross- compiler/-linker) from: /usr/ports/devel/linux_devtools. -- Tom To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
Re: Motif porting discussions on -java

You may want to have a looksee there if > you're working on Motif too. :) Seems, that nobody made a port upto now :-) So, here are my experiences with openmotif. There is a problem with motif's own version of imake. You can copy imakemdep.h from xfree's imake or just use XFree's imake itself. Copy/link Imake.tmpl, Motif.rules and Motif.tmpl (from config/cf) to /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/config for that. And now it gets tricky. lib/Xm/TextF.c needs some wide-charachter functions, that are not present in our libc. You can find a lib with these functions here: http://www.cs.rpi.edu/~crossd/FreeBSD/wcs-19990606.tar.gz I got the needed functions and just copied into the motif- sourcefile. Ah. For shared libs. You need to make the symlinks from libXX.so.a.b to libXX.so manually, if you don't do it, the linker will take the static libs. Well, thats an evil hack, but it gets you started until someone with more time and knowledge makes a "good" port :-) Enjoy. -- Tom To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
