I am working on a set of patches that will allow JTC to run on FreeBSD.
From work I did a few months ago I managed to get JTC to pass all its
tests!
Unfortunatly that work was lost DOH (I either did it on an old JTC tree
[1.0.10] or on a machine which disk got re-installed, either way DOH!!!)
From memory I had only to make three changes to make to Thread.cpp.
1) Add an entry for task priorities in levelMap.
2) Fake the {get/set}Priority as priorities don't seem to be started in
FreeBSD.
3) Slightly modify the initilisation of a Thread{Group}.
I have done 1, and belive that I have done 2.
I am currently compling DDD so I can run through one of the programs and
fix the fix the initialisation for 3.
When I have completed this I will be releasing a patch. I would expect
to do this in the next few days (probably tomorrow). OOC people
would be willing to add FreeBSD to your list of supported platforms?
Kess Jan, I think that modifing OB is the wrong way to get ORBacus to
work on FreeBSD. As ORBacus already compiles with out JTC on FreeBSD
(see /usr/ports/ORBacus) why are you doing this hack? If you need the
event service (as we do) then you must be doing some serious re-design of
that part of the code. As soon as I can get JTC to pass all its test on
FreeBSD then OB should compile without issue. What are your thoughs.
Please note that for the rest of this week I am working from home, so
please include my home e-mail address (steve@dobson.org) in any
futher communications with me as I may get those emails quicker.
Steve
