| I hope to port it to FreeBSD for version ''epsilon''. Versions before ''epsilon'' will not work on FreeBSD. If you need something more quickly, you might want to look at versions of WiCap-PHP written in Perl or Python as they are more likely to be portable out of the box. |
As of December 23rd, 2005, the answer is yes. At least, it seems to. I have ported the software to FreeBSD 4.9. It should work on newer versions too. At this point, I havn't done much testing on FreeBSD (mostly because I don't have a machine to do the testing on). |

| Before version "delta", Wicap-PHP was written in Perl, you can download "gamma" here: | To make it work on freebsd, you will need the libevent port: |

| I can't support either of these versions, since they are old. But, they may tide you over until I port the 'C' version to FreeBSD. | Compile the source with the provided alternate makefile |
