The simple answer is 'no.' The 'make' fails with #error "Macros for Big-Endians are incomplete" which, to my limited knowledge, says that it ain't gonna compile on a system like a sparc64. However, I have been doing some digging at work, and lo and behold, Mac OSX has a 'mount_smbfs' command, which leads me to ask this question: is the Big-endian/Little-endian thing different between Mac PowerPC processors [G5] and sparc64? If not, is there a way I can beat on the code to make mount_smbfs compile for sparc64? IANAP by any stretch of the imagination, but if someone is willing to guide me, I can certainly try. Thanks. As an aside, currently running 5.4RC3 on an E250 with 2x300MHz processors without any noticeable problems. -- 72, Jim N0OCT
