# [EMAIL PROTECTED] / 2002-10-25 17:32:12 -0700:
Has anyone heard about any port efforts around SAP DB (www.sapdb.org) to
FreeBSD? SAP DB is recently open-sourced SQL database that runs underneath
the SAP R/3 suite of ERP applications (Oracle is also supported by SAP R/3
as well). According the following link SAP R/3 has been known to work on
FreeBSD using Linux emulation:
http://www.daemonnews.org/27/SAP_meets_BSD.html
I would assume that SAP DB would work as well under Linux emulation, but it
would be cool if a native FreeBSD port effort was underway. However, with
6000+ source files it sounds like a monster to port.
I googled around some months ago, and all I could come up with were
a bunch of please port SAPDB to FreeBSD posts to the SAPDB ml, and
one that will be pretty hard, SAPDB source doesn't use the GNU
auto* tools, nor anything like that mail from one of the
developers. but all those emails were pretty old. the SAP people
were generally *very* quiet on this matter.
but maybe things have moved further since then.
