Hot-spot management software on (Free)BSD? ["oasis"]

My new employer(! :-)) would like to start deploying hot-spots in
certain locations; so far, so good.

To avoid misunderstandings:  no, these hot-spots would not be free,
at least at this time.  (They would not be part of the core of the
business, either, so it's possible that over time, the use model
for the hot-spots will change.)

Since we mostly run FreeBSD on the general-purpose computing devices at
work, we would prefer to do likewise with the machines that control
access to the hot-spots.

I see that FreeBSD is listed as a "supported platform" for "a future
version of" each of NoCatAuth and NoCatSplash.

On the other hand, over at http://software.stockholmopen.net/, I found 
some software that looks promising, claims that FreeBSD 4.4 is
supported, and is released under the BSD license.

(Re: supported platforms, README says:

Oasis is known to compile on the following platforms:
 - i386 Debian GNU/Linux 3.0
 - FreeBSD 4.4
 - i386 RedHat 7.2
[end of README])


So I tried building it on my machine at work:


frecnocpc9(4.9-RC)[13] uname -a
FreeBSD frecnocpc9.noc.egation.com 4.9-RC FreeBSD 4.9-RC #3: Mon Sep 29 09:51:04 PDT 2003     [email protected]:/common/S1/obj/usr/src/sys/REPO  i386
frecnocpc9(4.9-RC)[14] 

after installing ports devel/linuxpthreads and net/libnet.  At first,
"configure" choked, until I created the symlinks (as suggested by
linuxpthreads' README.FreeBSD file).  Then I got:

...

frecnocpc9(4.9-RC)[59] 


But maybe I'm confused:

frecnocpc9(4.9-RC)[21] nm -D /usr/lib/libpthread.so | grep -C pthread_cleanup
0000cecc T _pthread_barrierattr_setpshared
0000cf20 T _pthread_cancel
00015358 T _pthread_cleanup_pop
00015474 T _pthread_cleanup_pop_restore
000152d8 T _pthread_cleanup_push
000153e0 T _pthread_cleanup_push_defer
0000cf44 T _pthread_cond_broadcast
0000cf90 T _pthread_cond_destroy
frecnocpc9(4.9-RC)[22] 


[I also tried using "gmake" instead of (BSD) make; similar result.]

So I have some questions (and yes, I sent a note to the oasis developer's
list, after joining it myself):

* Has anyone else looked at this code?  And maybe got it working under
  FreeBSD?

* Is there something especially silly or stupid that I'm doing (in this
  context)?

I don't mind trying to get it to work; I would prefer to avoid re-doing
the work if it's already been done, though.

Thanks!

Peace,
david
