Date: Mon, 18 Mar 2002 13:07:33 +0000 Message-Id: <20020318130711.0F31B57B69@mailhost1.dircon.co.uk> Sender: owner-freebsd-sparc@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk List-ID: List-Archive: (Web Archive) List-Help: (List Instructions) List-Subscribe: List-Unsubscribe: X-Loop: FreeBSD.org There's a couple of general points I'm not clear on with respect to building code on the sparc64 port. A) Does it do self-hosted buildworlds yet, and if not, as I suspect, how close are they? B) Is the current recommended practice to do all building on some handy i386 platform with cross-platform compilation capability and NFS/tftp/ftp the bits over to the sparc64 machine as required?
