Hi, What performance issues have you seen with freebsd-10.1 ? You can always compile it with the in-tree gcc compiler instead. -a On 28 September 2015 at 20:55, Gerry Weaver <gerryw@compvia.com> wrote: > Hello All, > > I have an embedded router project coming up and I was considering FreeBSD= as a possible platform. However, I have run into a few issues getting a st= able development environment setup. I started with FreeBSD 10.1, but quickl= y realized that the new toolchain needs to cook a while longer before the p= erformance will be there. I then tried FreeBSD 9.3 thinking that would impr= ove the situation. It does seem to solve the performance issues, but I'm fi= nding that many of the third party open source libraries I would like to us= e either don't compile or don't run. Admittedly the last time I worked with= FreeBSD was in the version 6 timeframe, but I don't remember having so man= y issues back then. I would really like to hear what other folks that are u= sing FreeBSD as an embedded platform are doing in this regard. Are you usin= g versions that are older than 9.3 or restricting yourselves to what is in = the ports tree? The need to port and test a bunch of libraries would make a= significant impact on pr > oject stability and development time. Any advice on this would be much a= ppreciated. There may be some kernel work involved and I would much rather = work with the FreeBSD kernel. > > Thanks, > -G > > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-hackers@freebsd.org mailing list > https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hackers > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-hackers-unsubscribe@freebsd.org= "
