Hi Manfred,
We have some native code for Admin CLI and for solaris as part of shared
libraries which can be build by passing -Dnative.build=true flag, this
flag can be used to checkout and build appserv-native module. So you
can try building this module on FreeBSD, this needs rules/defines files
in appserv-native/make for freeBSD.
But to support this new platform it will be more than just be able to
build it and run Quicklook tests, we need to run compatibility tests and
Release engineering, testing resources.
