[OPEN-ILS-DEV] Evergreen FreeBSD install notes

[Bill Erickson]

Hi all,

If there are any FreeBSD fans out there, I spent a little time recently
getting EG up and running and took some notes along the way.  As
expected, I hit a few bumps, but nothing too bad.

I got as far as logging into the tpac and the staff client.  (There are 
some issues with z39 import and vandelay, but basic functions seem to
work OK).

My notes reference new OpenSRF and Evergreen collab branches for
managing some minor compatibility changes.  They're both under
working/collab/berick/bsd-compat.  They still need some work, but
once they're smoothed out, I'll open LP pull requests.  Even if *BSD 
is not generally used, the patches should help improve general 
portability.

Comments welcome.  I'm curious about the level of interest in FreeBSD
for Evergreen users and whether it would be worthwhile to create and
maintain real OpenSRF/Evergreen install targets.

Happy compiling!
