Support for FreeBSD

English Installation & Start

Good evening

My understanding is that Portfolio Performance is written in Java, is it therefore possible to have a FreeBSD build?

Thanks

I’m afraid that’s impossible. Portfolio Performance is written in Java and requires many modules like Eclipse or SWT that are not portable to FreeBSD.

PP is based on Eclipse’s Standard Widget Toolskit which uses operating system dependent libraries, so it’s not as platform independent as you might think if you hear Java.

But if you want to make your hands dirty, there seem to be a port of SWT for FreeBSD, so taking the Linux version of PP and exchange the SWT-libraries with the corresponding ones for FreeBSD might be something to give a try.
