I said up front this was a MacOS X/ppc package that I was providing as an example that Zero worked on PowerPC (with a code base that supported FreeBSD). I'll repeat this once more. The code base is likely very close to supporting FreeBSD/ppc using the Zero VM. The hard part is going to be doing the bootstraping for the initial build. Here is a link to a post that goes into some of the details on how you can accomplish this. It's what I did when I did a FreeBSD/sparc64 port using Zero. http://docs.freebsd.org/cgi/getmsg.cgi?fetch=89377+0+archive/2008/freebsd-java/20080203.freebsd-java -- Greg Lewis Email : glewis@eyesbeyond.com Eyes Beyond Web : http://www.eyesbeyond.com Information Technology FreeBSD : glewis@FreeBSD.org
