For those who were wondering about the NetBSD stuff I tried to do... I apologize for not talking here for a while. And I also apologize for giving up the idea. I did not succeed to do it because there is no glibc under NetBSD and I didn't manage to find any solution or workaround. The end.

Before doing this, I wondered myself about modifying 3rd party lib. I had looked around the code and I found lines of code that looked like custom modifications. It made me think I can do it. I also noticed that not all g3d is used by MaNGOS, there is C files that only exist but makefile do not deals with them. I guess it's the difficult point in using 3rd party lib. But don't worry, I would like to contribute in a "MaNGOS community compliant" way. I'm ready to read that I did wrong and why, ready to change my work in order to stick to projet's rules. It's just a question of time and being used to those rules. The idea of being NetBSD leader is very nice but I really don't want to become such a person and then fail everyone because I wouldn't manage to get enough spare time for it (I already did it for another projet and it's bad !). To be continued.

Sure, but my work was not even "alpha" release. It can wait later to be submitted for real. Why ? Because I would like to make it very clean. I think it is better to use a define in its exact meaning and not because "it would work the same than an other one". I prefer something like : #if defined(__A__) || defined(__B__) || ... || defined(__Z__) blabla #endif instead of #if defined(__B__) || ... || defined(__Z__) # define __A__ #endif #ifdef __A__ blabla #endif Even if it doesn't change anything for now, it would later. For that kind of platform specific code, if it has to fork, the sooner is the better. But, anyway, I've very hardly found time to write those small patches that juste make NetBSD compiles. In comparaison, the work to make NetBSD runs is huge and I don't feel like succeeding. Thank you for pushing me not to give up.

Well... well, well, well. I do not managed to get the thing working under NetBSD (mostly because I don't have enough time to get deeper in it). Moreover, as nobody even answer on this thread... I think it's better not to loose my time anymore. A coding projet on spare time is difficult, that's the point. Nevermind.

Well, actually, I tried ! And I've also created a new wiki page : Compile MaNGOS On NetBSD

Now, I have some hard work in Thread creation (MANGOS_ASSERT happens on Thread initialization). Any help or pieces of advice are most welcomed.

Ok! So here we go. What bug does the patch fix? What features does the patch add? These patches allow MaNGOS to compile under NetBSD (i386 4.0.1 tested) 1. dep - g3dlite patch : #define stuffs with creation of a custom G3D_NETBSD define and a explicit use of G3D_FREEBSD where it was messed up with G3D_LINUX (while doing it for G3D_NETBSD, it would have been silly no to do it for G3D_FREEBSD too) 2. dep - tbb patch : #define stuffs too, creation of Makefile's .inc files for NetBSD and writting of platform specific DetectNumberOfWorkers() very similar to OS X (HW_NCPU instead of HW_AVAILCPU) 3. src - shared/vmap fix : Under NetBSD isnan() is already defined by system's includes, so I just add a simple #ifndef according to that For which repository revision was the patch created? 10610 Is there a thread in the bug report section or at lighthouse? If yes, please add a link to the thread. Nope. Who has been writing this patch? Please include either forum user names or email addresses. lakomok 1. dep - g3dlite : http://paste2.org/p/1045199 2. dep - tbb : http://paste2.org/p/1045204 3. src - shared/vmap fix : http://paste2.org/p/1045207 And I hope that I did it as required.

Hi, I have written patches for g3dlite and tbb and added a "#ifdef" in src/shared/vmap/BIH.h in order to compile MaNGOS under NetBSD. I'm not sure if I have to submit it because everything compiles fine but MaNGOS don't work (because of problems inside threads that I don't fix yet). So, is it worth submiting patches that may be useless (if I don't succeed in fixing threads for NetBSD) ?

Question from a (almost) newbie. I would like to make MaNGOS working on NetBSD systems (again). Is it worth working on it ? May I try or is it useless ?
