The Mac and FreeBSD share a compatible implementation of kqueue and I believe kqueue64. Kqueue and mmap are the only two system calls outside of what's already in the self tools you need to build a high performance server on the BSD variants. </div><div><br></div><div> I did run into some build issues where the build targets were failing to run one of the custom scripts. Fixing it was a matter of just setting the proper defines in the C C++ compile options. </div><div><br></div><div>One bit that hung me up was the makeDeps program. Going the straight make route was another dead end. The final bit problem I had was the final build world script ran and then crashed right before saving an image. I could load and run all of my old images, but I could not build from scratch. </div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><br>-=-=- <a href="mailto:dave@nexttolast.com">dave@nexttolast.com</a> -=-=-</div><div><br></div><blockquote type="cite"><div><div style="color: #fff; height: 0;"></div>
