[ApacheDS] Installing on FreeBSD

[Tim Quinn <jp...@gmail.com>]

Hello,

I am interested in installing ApacheDS on Freebsd and noticed that there is
no installer or instructions for the BSDs. I have started building from
source, but have gotten hung up after building the initial to what I must do
next...

Suggestions for getting ApacheDS on BSD?
- Hack up OSX installer?
- Take installed x86 OSX tree and move to a BSD box?
- Run Linux version with Linux runtime libraries installed on FreeBSD (I
already have these installed)?
... ?

Thanks,
-TQ

Sounds very interesting Chris.

FYI - After my thread to the FreeBSD group on ApacheDS started last night,
they have already gotten CommonsDaemon Port up on FreshPorts (
http://www.freshports.org/devel/jakarta-commons-daemon/)

Thanks for your interest in FreeBSD! My fellow BSD'rs would be very
appreciative to have ApacheDS formally ported over to the platform.

Regards,
Tim

We are moving the startup daemon to the excellent Tanuki Wrapper which
supports FreeBSD, so this may solve this problem entirely.  I am not sure if
Tanuki Wrapper supports any specific version since their docs just say
FreeBSD.  We are targetting 1.5.1 for this change, but I admit that I have
not set up FreeBSD as one of the test environments so I will try to do that
this week as we prepare for the release some time later this month.

Thanks,
Chris

Re: [ApacheDS] Installing on FreeBSD

Found out how to build jsvc for FreeBSD (sans Ports). This required a very
small hack in the configure script to detect FreeBSD 6.x. The configure
script is currently only set up to detect FreeBSD 4.x. My tests so far with
tomcat shows that it works just fine.

Having an official port of jsvc to FreeBSD will come eventually but will
probably take quite some time to get developed and therefore is probably not
worth waiting for.

Is it possible to create a document to explain how to get ApacheDS working
by hand with a user compiled jsvc on FreeBSD?

Thanks,
Tim

Hi Tim,

Again we need an instance of jsvc for this just like for AIX.  If you get me
one then I can make the installer generating maven plugin generate an
installer for FreeBSD pretty easily.

Just throw it into a JIRA issue as an attachment and I'll werk it.
