Re: SAP DB on FreeBSD
# [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. -- If you cc me or take the list(s) out completely I'll most likely ignore your message.

Re: SAP DB on FreeBSD
Mike, 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. The Handbook from 4.6 says that it runs under Linux; I've never tried it but it's under the section called The Cutting Edge. I would assume that 4.7 hasn't broken it. My question would be, if it runs as (or almost as efficiently) under Linux emulation then why port such a huge project [apart from the obvious reason because we can]?
