: Most of the machine dependent code is already done by Linux people. I
: am just bridging MD code with FreeBSD now. It is mostly working but
: it has some rough edges. Most difficulty is build-test-rebuild cycle
: because of my poor laptop is not so fast, CPU, memory and disk.
: OpenOffice.org source is about 300MB, (gzip'd tarball). It is so big
: because this tarball includes third-party software tarballs (e.g.,
: Python, BerkeleyDB, boost, etc.) and local patches for OOo.
: Unfortunately some third-party packages are not patched for
: FreeBSD/amd64. In that case, I am referencing FreeBSD ports to fix
: them.
I have a fast build box or two I can provide you access with, if that
would help. I can also test things if you'd like.
