Running dom3 under Linuxbase on FreeBSD

If you get it to run then please announce it all over the FreeBSD boards

:-) I have the pleasure to report that I managed to get it working under FreeBSD 6.2 with Linux emulation.

If someone is interested in details, I will gladly provide assistance.

Could you perhaps just write a simple HOWTO and post it here?

I admit that it's a bit late :-), but I've sorted out the minimal necessary steps since I had to do it again. Here goes the list of the required ports:

linux_base-fc-4_13
linux-sdl-1.2.10,1
linux-sdl_image-1.2.5
linux-sdl_ttf-2.0.8
linux_dri-7.0

Just install these along with the required dependencies, and you should be set to go! Exact versions do not matter, just compile the latest stuff from ports.

Also, you will probably need the correct drivers with functional OpenGL hardware support for your current card.

Mine is GeforceMX4000, supported by the legacy driver nvidia-driver-96.43.07. I am not sure how well are ATI chips supported (if at all).

Works under FreeBSD 7 too!
