Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-BeenThere: freebsd-arm@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.14 Precedence: list List-Id: Porting FreeBSD to the StrongARM Processor List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Sat, 06 Jul 2013 22:12:17 -0000 Hi all: I have been playing around with the Beaglebone Black. I have FreeBSD 10 running on it. ( Thanks Tim Kientzle for crochet support). I have been able to build bash, python-2.7.5 and several other programs on it. Several programs (specifically db42 and its dependents) don't compile with clang 3.3 on the beaglebone, but do so with the gcc. More data available if someone is interested. The bash, python and other programs run but python fails on importing ctypes, which, in turn, depends on libffi interface. Python raises a "Signal 6" (SIGABRT) signal and quits. As an experiment, I tried building libffi from devel/ports but the "make check" program in the build directory FAILS on all tests. Does anyone have any clues as to how to get libffi working? Unfortunately my real work doesn't give me time to debug this. Thanks, G Dinolt
