The growth in FreeBSD on non-x86 and non-desktop/server systems requires a rethinking of our build process. Several efforts of late have been put forward, including Brooks Davis' cross building changes, as well as the work done by Tim Kientzle and Aleksandr Rybalko and others to take our current build system and twist it to the purpose of building usable images for embedded systems. As this is one of the areas we expect to continue working in, it makes sense to unify our efforts and to provide the necessary tools to get FreeBSD onto any type of board that our code might run on.
If you would like to participate, contact the working group chairs below and CC devsummit@. You will be then added to this page. Please include a list of things you want to talk about or the areas you are interested in. This helps us in planning the session and to bring people together with common interests.
It is possible to bring in people who cannot attend in person via video conference or chat tools. Notes during the session will be published later on for the whole community to see what we discussed.
In particular, we would like to cover the following topics. This is not an exhaustive list and if you feel there is something missing that you want to talk about, contact one of the session chairs and we will include your topic here. Note that the numbering of the topics does not represent an ordering or importance indication of any kind, but rather a reference to the second table with the “topic of interest” column.
| # | Topic Description |
|---|---|
| 1 | Cross Building Current Status |
| 2 | Description of specialized scripts |
| 3 | Needs list going forwards |
| 4 | IDE integration discussion |
| 5 | building on Linux, Mac OS X… and FreeBSD 7… |
Note: General presentations about work you have done that does not require further discussions should be submitted for the FreeBSD Developer Summit track at BSDCan (see the general developer summit page).
In order to attend you need register for the developer summit as well as by email for the session and be confirmed by the working group organizer. Follow the guidelines described on the main page or what you received by email. For questions or if in doubt ask the session chairs.
Please do NOT add yourself here. Your name will appear automatically once you received the confirmation email. You need to put your name on the general developer summit attendees list though.

We broke down what we were working on by what we had and what we wanted. Here are the two lists.
