<title>WorkMan system notes: FreeBSD</title>
11
WorkMan was ported to FreeBSD by Todd Pfaff
12
(<a href="mailto:todd@flex.eng.mcmaster.ca">todd@flex.eng.mcmaster.ca</a>).
15
This port was developed and tested on the following:
20
<li> xview3.2 (from the FreeBSD ports collection)
21
<li> Adaptec 1542C SCSI controller
22
<li> Toshiba XM-3401B CDROM drive
25
<h2>Building from source</h2>
27
If you have FreeBSD-1.1, XFree86-2.0 and xview3.2 installed you should be
28
able to build and install workman with:

<h2>Known problems</h2>
39
All CD drive IO is done using the FreeBSD CDIO interface defined in cdio.h.
40
I didn't attempt to write the wm_scsi() SCSI interface code in plat_freebsd.c
41
so direct SCSI support is not available. Implementing this would allow the
42
SCSI drive specific routines from drv_*.c to be taken advantage of.
43
Perhaps the SCSI user library submitted to the FreeBSD-hackers list by
44
Peter Dufault (hd@world.std.com) could be used for this purpose.
47
The CDIOREADTOCENTRYS fails if an attempt is made to read past the last track
48
found with CDIOREADTOCHEADER and I couldn't figure out any way to get the
49
length of the last CD track. If anyone fixes this please let me know how.
50
I hardcoded the last track length as 10 minutes which is obviously an ugly
54
The CDIOCEJECT ioctl doesn't eject the CD from my drive.
57
The volume control isn't the greatest and I didn't spend any time trying to
61
The balance control doesn't work very well.
