You don't need to run current on it, just have a -current src/sys checked out (and build the -current config(8) and copy somewhere safe). You can get a toolchain from http://people.freebsd.org/~jake/. I could give directions to building your own GCC 2.95.3 cross-compiler on FreeBSD/i386, but I'd rather everyone use the same toolchain at this point. > Well i was hoping to use my U1 box for that, i'll see if i can find > myself an x86 box. Give it a try, I'm courious to see how far you can get on that machine. > Question: there's quite a bit of sparc bits missing from gcc 3.0 from what i > know, wouldn't > it be better to use 2.95.3 instead ? Yes, but the reason being because the kernel tree is only known to work with GCC 2.95.3. Please forget GCC 3.0 exists for the time being. -- -- David (obrien@NUXI.com) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-sparc" in the body of the message
