Hi,
First post on the list, hello everyone!
Ok, I wanted to try the ppc port of haiku and I got the latest svn and
folllowed the instructions online, built the compiler/binutils/etc
and started the build. Build failed immediately on the host tools, in
particular bfs_shell.
I found that __swap_*() functions were not being declared anywhere but
were used in bfs_endian.h. I did a little testing around, I found a
simple fix (I hardly think it's the right way, but I'd gladly prepare
a proper patch with some pointer in the right direction). I attach
the diff between current svn and my version -which compiles on ppc. I
got some more failures afterwards, but I was told they was due to
some changes in the Device Manager, so I'll try again later.
Thanks
Konstantinos
PS. I'm doing PowerPC/Cell coding for a living (in particular
AltiVec/SPU optimizations, incl. a library with altivec optimized
libc replacement functions, 3d, math stuff, etc) and I'd gladly help
in the ppc port of Haiku, it will take me some time to understand its
internals though :/
PS2. I was a very early BeOS user (my 603@180Mhz with BeOS was the
fastest system I ever used, still beats many XP/Vista PCs out there,
imho :). Thanks to Haiku I can have that experience again, thanks
guys!
