I got SOGo 1.3.4 to compile and install on FreeBSD 8.1, wohoo! I will write up my procedure and post it somewhere when I have the time, It was quite easy though. However, making a startup script was a bit harder, so I thought I'd share it. Maybe it could go in the source code bundle for other FreeBSD users.
For reference; GNUstep is installed in /usr/local/GNUstep on FreeBSD, this needs changing in the SOGo.conf file for apache. # cp /usr/local/src/SOGo/SOGo-1.3.4/Apache/SOGo.conf /usr/local/etc/apache22/Includes/ # nano /usr/local/etc/apache22/Includes/SOGo.conf change /usr/GNUstep to /usr/local/GNUstep then add 'sogod_enable="YES"' to /etc/rc.conf then add rc script for sogod: # nano /usr/local/etc/rc.d/sogod >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> #!/bin/sh # # # PROVIDE: sogod # REQUIRE: memcached # # Add the following lines to /etc/rc.conf to enable sogod: # # sogod_enable (bool): Set it to "YES" to enable sogod. # Default is "NO" # # . /etc/rc.subr name="sogod" rcvar=`set_rcvar` load_rc_config ${name} : ${sogod_enable="NO"} : ${sogod_user="sogo"} : ${sogod_group="sogo"} : ${sogod_workers="-WOWorkersCount 1"} : ${sogod_command="/usr/local/GNUstep/Local/Tools/Admin/sogod"} : ${sogod_logfile="/var/log/sogo/sogo.log"} pidfile="/var/run/sogo/sogo.pid" command="/usr/sbin/daemon" command_args="-p ${pidfile} -u ${sogod_user} ${sogod_command} ${sogod_workers} -WOPidFile ${pidfile} -WOLogFile ${sogod_logfile}" start_precmd="sogod_prestart" start_cmd="sogod_start" stop_cmd="sogod_stop" status_cmd="sogod_status" sogod_prestart() { if [ ! -d `dirname ${pidfile}` ]; then mkdir `dirname ${pidfile}` && chown ${sogod_user}:${sogod_group} `dirname ${pidfile}` fi if [ ! -d `dirname ${sogod_logfile}` ]; then mkdir `dirname ${sogod_logfile}` touch ${sogod_logfile} && chown ${sogod_user}:${sogod_group} ${sogod_logfile} fi if [ -z ${GNUSTEP_SYSTEM_ROOT} ]; then . /usr/local/GNUstep/System/Library/Makefiles/GNUstep.sh fi } sogod_start () { ${command} ${command_args} } sogod_stop () { kill `cat ${pidfile}` } sogod_status () { if [ -f ${pidfile} ]; then echo "${name} is running as pid `cat ${pidfile}`" else echo "${name} is not running" fi } run_rc_command "$1" <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< omitting the >>>> and <<<< of course! then assuming a user called sogo with matching group name has been created, and ht e'defaults' are set, it's just: # service start sogod /etc/passwd for me looks like this: #cat /etc/passwd | grep sogo sogo:*:1002:1002:SOGo Admin:/home/sogo:/usr/local/bin/bash Hope this helps someone. -- users@sogo.nu https://inverse.ca/sogo/lists
