The good news is that FreeBSD is a supported DPDK target, and I have seen compatibility patches being accepted. So that's a promising start. I have gotten parts of VPP to compile by hand on FreeBSD, so I think that's a good sign, but the overall build system is, uh, i'll call it cisco-ish and leave it at that. I think what we'll need to do is just slog our way through the Makefiles and CMakeLists.txt one-by-one and then start debugging the result. I'm not sure how willing the upstream is to support FreeBSD is either, so, as George said, a port will be tedious to create, but also onerous to maintain. Not saying we shouldn't, but hoping some masochists come forward to help :-) dave c On Wed, Sep 26, 2018 at 10:42 AM George Neville-Neil wrote: > > So, a straight up port is possible but tedious (duh) due to its > Linuxism.
