Hi Ports! I have two comments regarding the ports entry for GXemul: 1. The 0.3.7 release had a syntax bug in src/cpus/memory_ppc.c which wasn't triggered on my development platform (FreeBSD/Alpha 4.x) using neither gcc 3.4 or compaq's compiler, but it _is_ triggered by the default (2.95.4) compiler. Both NetBSD and OpenBSD have a patch in their pkgsrc/ports trees; perhaps FreeBSD could apply something similar. http://cvsweb.netbsd.org/bsdweb.cgi/pkgsrc/emulators/gxemul/patches/ 2. When I did a "make install", GXemul got configured with X86 and SPARC emulation enabled. That is pretty pointless, as there is no such emualtion in 0.3.7. (There are skeletons, but they contain no actual implementation.) In my opinion, it is better to not enable individual emulation modes in the makefile etc, but let GXemul's own configure enable those modes that are stable. This way, there will be less confusion as to what works and what doesn't work. Anders (the author of GXemul)
