What have you been using before? The old 0.40 FreeBSD Beta or a Linux App?

That's a comparision against old 0.40 FreeBSD core.

I've updated the FreeBSD App

I've updated the FreeBSD App on the Beta Test Page, keeping the same version number. The md5sum of the new package is d53fe3cb16bbf00a9e8ce5d824fe27f9 . It was built as a static binary on a FreeBSD 5.5-PRERELEASE system and also tested on a FreeBSD 6 machine. Have a look.

Seems to run on i386 architecture.

Segfaults on amd64 architecture. The static binary advice I gave you turned out bad, I forgot that pthread is not portable between i386 and amd64 in this manner. My apology for that.

Could I, perhaps, ask you for dynamic binary built on that 5.5-PRERELEASE box?

It just so happened that I expected this - the page has been updated again, new md5sum for the dynamic binary package is d21630ac6abe657837db8e8709980869.

Hehe, good work with Precog.

The dynamic binary works fine on i386, on amd64 with the usual pthread hack. I'll update the official FreeBSD port with it.

Thanks a lot again for supporting us!

Do you have any idea whether this will work on FreeBSD prior to 5.5-Pre? Probably on 5.4, but what about 5.3 or 5.2? Anyone still using these systems?

It should just work on 5.3 and above, the 5.3+ line of code is ABI compatible.

It will not run on 5.2.1. But hardly anyone is using 5.2.1 today, it was AWOLed some time ago.
