Hello... 1. theres a game engine i've been trying to get working on FreeBSD 5.2.1-Release, theres a linux version now - which should be easy to port, i tryed the windows version before on windows and played it a lot, it made the graphics of a really old game and small game look quite modern. doomsdayhq dot com is the website for it. from what i remember when you download and install the 9MB models it makes the graphics like quake 3, i was amazed at how it managed it with only around 20MB. i think it mostly uses SDL, the ./configure fails when it trys to find SDL_net.h, i tryed ages to try to make it detect it but it still didnt no matter what i did :( 2. this isnt relavant to my first request but its still very useful... you can get the dos gcc - djgpp to cross compile a DOS/Windows program on FreeBSD. i managed to get it working, i tested a program it compiled that had a lot of file i/o functions in dosbox and it worked nicely, i just couldnt get the c++ working, i found a website that said if you go to the "packages/gnu/gcc-3.2-obj" and type "make all-gcc install" it makes and installs it with c but without c++, i followed the instructions in the text file "cross/howto.32" and did the above. i think this is important as a port because many people have friends on windows who they need to send programs they wrote and compiled for them. the website for the compiler is delorie dot com slash djgpp you just go to the zip picker and say you want to do a unix cross compile and select sources for everything you download, the instructions on the zip picker seem to be kind of out of date but theres good instructions when you unzip one of the files, a file called cross/howto.32 should appear. Regards, a very happy FreeBSD user. ___________________________________________________________ALL-NEW Yahoo! Messenger - sooooo many all-new ways to express yourself http://uk.messenger.yahoo.com
