Salam,
After our my last conversation with Chahine, and playing a bit with Akka on
Linux (Debian) I thought it was time to check and see how FreeBSD was doing..
A few issues:
1. Endian stuff.. an endian.h is part of the freebsd kernel source, but I
haven't looked closely at it yet (it looks pretty similar at first glance)
2. `loadkeys' does not exist under FreeBSD. An equivalent would be
`kbdcontrol'.. slight syntax difference.
3. chonfigure can't seem to find the perl header files, etc. It's looking in
all the wrong places ;) `/usr/libdata' is where all the perl stuff goes.
4. can't find fribidi library, headers, etc.
.. and a few other minor issues.
I'm at work now, so I can't do much.. but I have hard-coded most of this so it
would pass the configuration part. Most of this is `chonfigure` related, and I
thought since it's supposed to be an 'auto-configurator', perhaps a little
FreeBSD consideration would be nice ;)
later
