[Tsp-devel] Re: FW: Attempting to build TSP on FreeBSD

[Pedro F. Giffuni]

Hello Ives and everyone;

Thanks for the instructions, I got started now. I'll have to modify 
src/core/include/tsp:abs_types.h. It looks like the OpenBSD port only 
supports i386 so I'll start by copying the linux stuff (FreeBSD also 
runs on AMD64, SPARC64,  Alpha, ppc and MIPS although the last three are 
not pier 1 platforms).

On to why I want this.. well..althought I'm a mechanical engineer and I 
don't discard using this for something "serious" someday (any jobs @ 
astrium? ;) )... I'm only doing it because I have some spare time this 
week and I want to have jsynoptic working with all the bells and whistles.

best regards,

   Pedro.
