PathDB may be nice but there is nothing that is utterly apparent to be already ported to FreeBSD as your subject implies. So I went through all the links and most everything I see keeps pointing at linux this and linux that then checked out the source which has a bunch of gmake(1) files scattered throughout and what looks to be deepdencies on GNU GCC libs and such. Maybe I hit the Linux repo instead of the FreeBSD one ? did I misunderstand and '!' is supposed to be '?' in the subject ?. Anyway... seeing as clang/llvm is the compiler of choice for those on 9-CURRENT its probably worth noting that link [1] would probably be more worthwhile supporting rather than something that hasnt been ported already. Also to note it seems clearly better documented. 1). http://lldb.llvm.org/status.html --=20 Regards, (jhell) Jason Hellenthal --RnlQjJ0d97Da+TV1 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.17 (FreeBSD) Comment: http://bit.ly/0x89D8547E iQEcBAEBAgAGBQJN1GIpAAoJEJBXh4mJ2FR+BsUH/2TQdjMCxAOQI2Q/6TwGIYTD buYwxaizj/SULPoPcuLKspOuU2SBZs6KRtjp7nm2h5Ko8Z2wWHINVS81AughgFd0 dclTigp231jVBqTp8W8DrPsisksIaT5jRJh513tFZqhpXUxoYy6QhzRK4xunclNv ZsbAenM3FN84hMZJBV6FLrxIfaDyPIzlFbBZqU7uMKD1sqVJj3JhgUZoytvhbh4T bSeQrJVAihr2tbvf/nJuRSJXO1b2zzz3hrpUXplJtkXY92GqsoFVOXJzrzDEf+2n PGjs5VVlZjrlhVQzSoHyE0qy+ASi+dRAPWozBA24DGphzfG2pHUxyHZUlT2VGi8= =mlXk -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --RnlQjJ0d97Da+TV1--
