Sage Port to FreeBSD 6.x, 7.x and 8.x
Native Port
Since Sage 3.2 it is possible to build Sage with a few modifications and get it to start up, but there are problems with java for example, so not all doctests pass. Specific build notes:
Sage 4.2 on FreeBSD 7.2 & 8.0 - never completed. Do not use
Sage 4.3 on FreeBSD 8.0 - never completed. Do not use
Sage 4.5 on FreeBSD 8.1 - work in progress
Sage 4.6.1 on FreeBSD 8.1 - work in progress
Linux Emulation
Precompiled Sage binaries will run under linux emulation on FreeBSD with some caveats; the biggest issue is a noted error when trying to render plain 2-D plots. Otherwise, both the command line and notebook interfaces seem to work, including raytracing withTachyon. Tested configurations (plotting works on none, all other features "seem" to work):
sage-2.10.2-linux-32bit-debian-i686-Linux on FreeBSD 6.3-RELEASE with linux_base-fc-4_10 (fedora core 4.10)
sage-3.0-debian32-intel-i686-Linux on FreeBSD 6.3-RELEASE with linux_base-fc-4_10 (fedora core 4.10)
Here are basic instructions:
- Make sure the linux kernel module was compiled into FreeBSD and is loaded with kldstat; linprocfs does not seem to be required
Install emulators/linux_base (using ports system, pkg_add -r, etc)
Download and extract the latest sage binary distribution (eg, sage-2.10.2-linux-32bit-debian-i686-Linux.tar.gz)
Enter extracted directory and edit the script sage to set SAGE_ROOT to the full path of that directory
Run /compat/linux/bin/bash ./sage
Official Port
ThePorter's Handbookis the place to look for porting directions It may make sense to have both a native math/sage-math and a linux math/linux-sage-math port, at least for a while? A linux port would be more reliable and easier to keep up to date. Here is a possible pkg-descr:
