Sender: owner-freebsd-ppc@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hi, I've started working on trying to get /boot/loader working under OpenFirmware on the iMac (and hopefully under OpenBoot on one of my sparc's but that'll come later). I'm hoping to have some stuff ready soon for the actual machdep loader code, but in the meantime I've managed to get lib/libstand to compile under NetBSD/macppc which is what I'm using to build my code. I've attached a patch for lib/libstand, and also a PowerPC version of _setjmp.S that needs to be placed in lib/libstand/powerpc. ($MACHINE_TYPE needs to be set to powerpc). This patch is also available at http://jeamland.net/ -- Benno Rice "No, no.

The jmpbuf layout for NetBSD is also unsuitable to FreeBSD (be more precise the space left for sigmask should now be 16 bytes), that has to be adjusted as well (not that it matters, but it's always a good idea to keep the version in libstand in sync with what will be in libc). One more comment regarding the iaddr_t typedef in zalloc_defs.h, the comment is somewhat misleading, iaddr_t is no other than size_t. I wonder why it's not simply typedef'd to size_t. -lq To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ppc" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-ppc Tue Oct 10 12:22:44 2000 Delivered-To: freebsd-ppc@freebsd.org Received: from dragon.nuxi.com (trang.nuxi.com [209.152.133.57]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 8D41637B503 for ; Tue, 10 Oct 2000 12:22:42 -0700 (PDT) Received: (from obrien@localhost) by dragon.nuxi.com (8.9.3/8.9.1) id MAA54345; Tue, 10 Oct 2000 12:22:34 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from obrien) Date: Tue, 10 Oct 2000 12:22:34 -0700 From: "David O'Brien" To: Luoqi Chen Cc: freebsd-ppc@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: Patches for compilation of libstand Message-ID: <20001010122233.A54236@dragon.nuxi.com> Reply-To: obrien@FreeBSD.ORG References: <200010101833.e9AIX3P12074@lor.watermarkgroup.com> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline User-Agent: Mutt/1.2.5i In-Reply-To: <200010101833.e9AIX3P12074@lor.watermarkgroup.com>; from luoqi@watermarkgroup.com on Tue, Oct 10, 2000 at 02:33:03PM -0400 X-Operating-System: FreeBSD 5.0-CURRENT Organization: The NUXI BSD group X-Pgp-Rsa-Fingerprint: B7 4D 3E E9 11 39 5F A3 90 76 5D 69 58 D9 98 7A X-Pgp-Rsa-Keyid: 1024/34F9F9D5 Sender: owner-freebsd-ppc@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG On Tue, Oct 10, 2000 at 02:33:03PM -0400, Luoqi Chen wrote: > One more comment regarding the iaddr_t typedef in zalloc_defs.h, the comment > is somewhat misleading, iaddr_t is no other than size_t.

Currently I think the status is that there are a number of people who would be happy to see it happen, but I don't know how much active progress is being made on it. You MIGHT want to try darwin (Apple's open-source OS), which runs on PPC and is a combination of parts of FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD and code from Apple itself. (but yes, I'd like to see a full-fledged FreeBSD for PPC) --- Garance Alistair Drosehn = gad@eclipse.acs.rpi.edu Senior Systems Programmer or drosih@rpi.edu Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ppc" in the body of the message
