Forked from Re: FreeBSD & OE: unable to build from source code
I'm trying to compile a fresh install from the FreBSD port source code you provide in the wiki. I am waiting to succed with freebsd to try binary building under NetBSD and OpenBSD. May be also OpenSolaris.
Can we contact you in the future on questions such as constant values on the BSD OSes? There are times we grab constants from header files in Linux for when we wrap EUPHORIA wrappers but we really don't know if the constant is the same for other platforms.

Hi Shawn, my programming skills are limited (I am pharmacist!) and also my OS architecture knowledge, but I'll try to help you and the OpenEuphoria.org community as far as I can.
I can perform tests in the following architectures:
- 32-bit GNU/linux Fedora
- 32-bit FreeBSD 9.0
- 32-bit OpenSolaris 10 (this one probably is the less interesting for me)
- 64-bit GNU/Linux CentOS 6.3
- 64-bit FreeBSD 9.0
- 64-bit NetBSD 6.3 RC2
- need some room in the hard disk to install OpenBSD!
What ever you may need let me know and I'll try to help as possible. Cheers, Raúl

Would you make a tar ball of each of your OSes' include directories and send it to me? You can make a tar ball like this:
tar -cf freebsd-includes.tar /usr/include
This will help us have a better handle on making system dependent constants. We mustn't assume they are the same value among all UNIX like OSes. By the way, there is no user information stored in these directories.

Of course. Do you need both 32 & 64 bit oses? Where may I send them?

You may send them to my skype id. I have added you with the skype id you made public in the wiki document concerning the new IDE you want to develop. I expect the constants to be 64-bit analogs of the 32-bit ones but I have been surprised too often to assume anything. I would like both versions.
