LWJGL does work on FreeBSD you just need to compile it yourself (as ppl have done in the past, just search the forum).

Pre-compiled binaries for FreeBSD aren't provided with LWJGL releases simply because there are so few users that it is difficult to justify spending time and resources on it. In fact even the Solaris builds might be dropped in future since there is probably no one using them anymore.

If you do not mind I'll post the patch here (for lwjgl 2.8.4, tested on FreeBSD 8.3 amd64)

I don't know how it's built, but couldn't it be automate it?  

Alternatively, anyone know how to get it working under this ? http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/linuxemu.html

why use here linux emulation? if lwjgl can be compiled natively under FreeBSD?
I use my port every day, its stable.

The other builds are automated, but I'd have to get more hardware to setup another build machine, spend time installing and configuring the OS, setting up the build scripts for lwjgl.

Then, even with jenkins, the build farm doesn't just run itself, it does need monitoring, tweaking, patching etc, so any extra build environments do take up my time, resources and electricity bill :)

Endolf - why you need other hardware? Are you not using VirtualBox?

Cas :)

The current VM hosts are full, I'd need another one :)
