[Koha] FreeBSD Dependencies

[micheas]

Hi all,

Here is a list in one place of everything I know that needs installed to
use Koha on FreeBSD.  

Corrections and comments are appreciated.

# From ports(cd to the directory then "make install"):

$PORTSDIR/net/yaz
$PORTSDIR/www/apache13	# other versions of apache should 			# work,
however I have not tested them. Please 			# report any successes. 
Especially with regards to 			# apache2 
$PORTSDIR/lang/perl5	# mod_perl is NOT advised if you use Net::Z3950
			# due to bugs in the Net::Z3050 module.
$PORTSDIR/devel/cdk	# if you plan on using telnet 			# terminals -- see
note below.

# From CPAN ("perl -MCPAN -e shell") install:


Date::Manip
DBI
Set::Scalar
DBD::mysql 	# or whatever database system you use
CDK		# if you want to support telnet. --see note below   
AuthenDBI 	# if you want to use Database based
		# authentication -- Untested

Net::Z3950	# needed for remote MARC record lookup.
		


Telnet terminals -- HERE BE DRAGONS -- these maybe problematic under
FreeBSD.  There is a movement to remove telnetd form the base
distribution.  So any problem will probably get worse not better. :-( 
The reason for this is that it is viewed as extremely insecure protocol
that passes passwords in "plain text".  Think twice and consider porting
to ssh if you have any security concerns. The port could be pretty
straight forward.

The shell scripts for starting Z3950 queue do not work on FreeBSD.  I
will post them when I get them working.
