Hi,
Firstly thanks for Task Juggler, it is a brilliant tool, and has saved my life!
I just completed an initial port of Task Juggler to FreeBSD (it is winding its way through the FreeBSD ports commit process as we speak).
I thought I should share a couple of issues. The first is that I had to patch tjx2gantt to support earlier Perl5 versions. use warnings, is not portable, and setting -w in the #! is preferable if portability is your goal. Secondly, the current version does not work with PostScript::Simple 0.05, so I had to patch it. This is mostly the fault of the PostScript::Simple maintainer who made an incompatible change, but is an issue worth mentioning.
Another issue was a shell script that used
function foo. I believe foo() is more portable, although in general shell functions are not portable at all.
One issue was that while the configure script goes to some pains to make sure all the dependancies for tjx2gantt are there, it still goes ahead and installs it even if they aren\'t! You probably should install conditionally.
Lastly, I had trouble building the documentation, as the db2html and db2ps tools you used haven\'t been ported to FreeBSD.
I can supply you with some patches for the above problems if you are interested.
Cheers.
Dean.
