Have you tried to build it under linux-compat in FreeBSD? Sounds like > it's worth the experiment. :) Well, the Linux build by default uses the Cygnus compiler and it was too much initial effort to get that working on FreeBSD (we only had a RedHat distribution). I ended up porting one of the projects to FreeBSD w/ gcc 2.95.3 and it built about fourty minutes faster than the Linux machines using Cygnus GNUpro-99r1. It still manages to be around fifteen minutes faster than the Linux machines that've been switched to use 2.95.3. Still pretty freakin' adimirable if you ask me. > Kees Jan Trent. -- Trent Nelson - Software Engineer - nelsont@switch.aust.com "A man with unlimited enthusiasm can achieve almost anything." --unknown To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
