I am doing some embedded work. The system we are working with involves a Linux kernel running some special software on a Flash card, that runs in an ARM box. So, the all of our Linux build boxes like to crash. Usually during a build. Go figure. So I suggested we build under FreeBSD. Oddly enough, I'd been doing some test development of individual utilities under FreeBSD for more than a year, so I knew this would work. It was just a matter of making it build a kernel and other more complex stuff. Well, right now, everything is working except for one little part. How can I make an EXT2 filesystem? The tool in the Ports tree is broken beyond recognition (the build process is broken). And copying over the binary for mke2fs from a Linux box doesn't work either. So I am open to suggestions.
