Well, we decided to move into FreeBSD from Slackware recently and am quite
happy with it. I read evyones suggestions on building Zope on FreeBSD and
then dived in. Happily I made it work, here's the lowdown for those
interested.
I tried several things, some worked some didn't. This worked perfectly for
me twice.
FreeBSD v 3.0 release 0, Walnut Creek dist.
Zope 1.10.2 source
ZServer 1.0a2
Python 1.5.2 release source.
This was into a standard dist install of FreeBSD with no X, a bare server
type install. The only extras I installed were Bind, Sendmail, and Expect.
*****begin
untar the python dist
cd into Python-1.5.2/Modules
copy Setup.in to Setup
edit Setup uncommenting the line #*shared*
cd up to the top of the Python distribution directory
run ./configure --with-thread
ignore errors
untar the Zope dist into /usr/local
edit do.py
change the line do('make') to read do('make -k')
run python wo_pcgi.py
Zope should now start normally with the included start file.
*******end
(No, I didn't try w_pcgi.py, don't have Apache..)
I use ZServer and it worked as advertised with the normal "ZOPE_HOME"
change to the start.py script.
Cool.......
DAve.
