[bt-devel] FreeBSD Port

[Joachim Ansorg]

Hi!

Thank you for your eMail!

There was some work done on a FreeBSD port of BibleTime 1.0. It seems the 
port was committed after FreeBSD 4.5 was released.

Please contact the port maintainer lars.tunkrans@bredband.net if you have 
questions about the port. I'm not a great help, because I never used 
FreeBSD....
