Considering how folks have been really undecided about gcc vs. egcs i decided to build the system compiler on my -current NetBSD box to produce sparc64 binaries. I've been trying to compile a (netbsd) kernel and have hit snags here and there, but it's coming along i think, there are some errors in the code that have forced me to disable certain kernel options. If i get something that boots, expect an email on this list about it and a giant tarball on janus (thanks Kevin) with the compiler sources and object files. I know this is netbsd stuff, but having something that works on usparc will be good. now a question, Would anyone more familiar with netbsd please tell me if all the: "options COMPAT_1X" are nessesary to exec binaries, i'd like to make my kernel as simple as possible at first, and constantly hitting errors in the code and having to restart "make depend && make all" isn't pleasant on a P120 with 32megs of ram. :) The reason i ask is that i saw something that told me "netbsd doesn't have binaries, everything is emulated" or something to that effect, stripping out the 1.3 compat doesn't sound like a good idea (as i'm using 1.3.3-current) but i'm trying it anyway. Kapil, if you think you can build a mini-root i'd much appreciate it. :) thanks, Alfred Perlstein - Programmer, HotJobs Inc. - www.hotjobs.com -- There are operating systems, and then there's FreeBSD. -- http://www.freebsd.org/ 3.0-current To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-sparc" in the body of the message
