Has anyone made any progress toward getting fam to build on freebsd? I
have tried, and not met with much success so far. The major stopping
point appears to be in the way that the checks for an NFS filesystem are
handled in FileSystemTable.c++. This uses constants and functions from
mntent.h which does not exist on BSD systems. A similar result can be
obtained from the getfsstat call on BSD. I'm not very versed in the
ways of configure scripts and have yet to find a suitable way to detect
these differences so that the BSD style code can be used instead on BSD
systems.
fam seems like a very good system, although I haven't had a chance to
actually use it yet. I know much of the current effort is focused on
having a 100% functional linux port, however if ports to other operating
systems are desired it may be advantageous to begin adding a layer of
abstration between the fam code and the interface to imon or other
similar services. I am very interested in working to get fam up and
running on FreeBSD and using the FMon system built into the BSD kernel.
I'd very much like to hear from others who have attempted to get fam to
build on BSD and whether or not you made any progress in that direction.
Thanks for your time,
chap
