From http://www.opera.com/linux/: Why has Opera for Linux only been released for Linux 2.2 on x86? At the moment, the development team is using Linux 2.2 systems on x86. We're actively persuing ports to the following operating systems: Linux 2.0, 2.2 and 2.4 on: Intel x86 PowerPC G3, G4 Alpha AXP MIPS 32bit Sparc Hopefully StrongARM SGI IRIX 6.5 or better 32 bit Sun Solaris for x86 and Sparc FreeBSD 3.4 x86 OpenBSD 2.6 x86 SCO UnixWare 7.1 SCO OpenServer 5.0.5 NetBSD 1.4 Intel x86 Sparc Alpha [snip] In the process of porting, we've been finding that many of the UNIX operating systems are quite hard to port to from Linux. The greatest problems we've been having is the lack of a stable compiler environment. [snip] We've attempted to start releasing a FreeBSD version as of this release, however, we're experiencing complications with the compile environment as well. GCC is working wonderfully, however the ld is generating some interesting errors related to templates which aren't quite understandable. We'll hopefully have a functional version at the next release. For now, we understand that Opera for Linux works well under Linux emulation on the BSD platforms. -- 4.4 - The number of the Beastie ________________________________________________________________ 51.44°N FreeBSD - The Power To Serve http://www.freebsd.org 2.057°W My Webpage http://ukug.uk.freebsd.org/~mark mailto:marko@freebsd.org http://www.radan.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
