RE: FreeBSD 6.1 and Glassfish

Hi Dinesh,
 
Can you elaborate on the native code a bit more? I currently have a copy of
Glassfish
running on a FreeBSD system and it seems to be working fine. Note I used the
Solaris.jar
file and fixed those minor glitches myself.
 
Kind regards,

Hi Manfred,

Now since b12 is coming out we can lookinto this.. I didn't see the patch
that fixes freeBSD build, please point me to that.
Earlier Homer had some issue on this and he got the resolution, and it seems
the fix is already checked in.

For adding the .jar installer release on FreeBSD, we need to have the
resources from Release Engineering, and verify all the tests.
There is native code in appserv-native module which need to be built and
bootstrapped to support this new platform.

We will do some more investigation if we can do this and let you know soon.
thanks
Dinesh

Hi there,
 
I have this installed on a FreeBSD 6.1 installation and it seems to be
working good. I have a personal
box at home that I could use to do building and testing.
 
Note it is customary for FreeBSD to have a package build and also the
ability to build from source.
 
Kind regards,

Hi Eduardo,

  How could I help? Just let me know what and how could I help. I guess
first we need to have a FreeBSD system setup for building and testing any
promotion glassfish build.
  
  Besides, build release team we still need the buy in from other glassfish
related module owner for support.
 
  Any other supporter(s)?

Thanks,
Homer

FYI only.
I think in jdk 1.5 on
<http://www.freebsdfoundation.org/downloads/java.shtml> Freebsd, it still
have some issues.

Hi there,
  
In order to make the source release (V1) to work under FreeBSD 6.1
I had to do the same fix as was done for MacOSX (CLI 130 problem).
  
And of course the platform type needs to be FreeBSD ;)
  
Can someone apply those little changes?
  
And what will it take to create a .jar release for FreeBSD?
  
Kind regards,
Manfred Riem
