Compile ps3netsrv on FreeBSD?

[shawly]

Hi folks,

I wanna use https://github.com/aldostools/ps3netsvr on my NAS, but since it's only for Linux and Windows and FreeNAS 10 was rolled back, there is currently no way to run it except for VirtualBox, but I don't want that.

Currently I've successfully compiled https://github.com/dirkvdb/ps3netsrv-- on a FreeBSD 10 machine and it runs within a jail on my FreeNAS server, but I've been experiencing some issues.
The version above from aldostools is more up-to-date so I wanted to give that a try and see if it works better than the C++ implementation.

The thing is, I have no clue on how to edit the Makefile to compile it for FreeBSD so I wanted to know if someone could tell me what I'd need to change to be able to compile it on FreeBSD.

I hope someone has mercy on me and could help me out a little. Otherwise I'd have to wait for Corral and it's Docker support or I'll really have to use a VM..

Thank you!

You could use iohyve to set-up a Linux VM on FN 9.10.

If virtual machines are the only way to get it running, then I could create one on my ESXi server that's not an issue.
But I actually want the software to run natively on my FreeNAS (in a jail ofc) with direct access to the data, which should be possible if I knew how to successfully compile it under FreeBSD.

Guess I'll test the app under Windows first though, since I don't know if aldostools version of ps3netsrv even fixes the problems I have or if they might even be related to the OS that the app is running on.
