I love it when maintainers make an effort to help port their application to another platform. Thank you. Now for the bad news. We have quite a few users that want to use brasero on FreeBSD, but we haven't had anyone step up to fix the problems. Admittedly, I offered to look into this a while ago, but fell behind with non-FreeBSD work, and the FreeBSD hal port update. Here's were we stand with brasero now: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=3Dports/115240 : This looks like a problem with brasero overriding PATH for a Linux-centric environment. mkisofs is found in /usr/local/bin on FreeBSD. Admittedly, I have not looked into the brasero code to determine if this is the case, or if this problem is still relevant in 0.7.0. http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=3Dports/117364 : This is a bit nastier. FreeBSD's cdrecord only supports the legacy bus,target,lun notation. Our HAL exports this address via the block.freebsd.cam_path property, and I hacked nautilus-cd-burner to support this property on FreeBSD. If you have suggestions on these problems, I would be happy to get brasero up to 0.7.0 and working properly on FreeBSD.
