As I said, once the agp was built and loaded, it worked.=A0 I'll try an ins= tall of 8.x release in the next few days.=A0 If the graphics work, then it = is an OF glitch that should be noted. If it doesn't work, then I'll give th= e OF information and the other descriptions necessary. The only other thing= it could be is an openfirmware glitch. I'm trying to build gcc45 using http://www.acsu.buffalo.edu/~charngda/cc_bu= ild.html . The reasons are for:=20 1) Making an llvm-gcc4X build on ppc32. 2) Having a "Just-In-Time" compiler to attempt a build of JaegerMonkey on p= pc32. I tried installing gcc42/43/44 and all broke with a not for powerpc archite= cture. Your note explains why. On the link above: I removed the linux referrals and used ABI=3D32. Gmp and= mpfr just built correctly. Mpc will be built next. Followed by the rest of= the howto.=20 --- On Fri, 1/21/11, Justin Hibbits <chmeeedalf@gmail.com> wrote: From: Justin Hibbits <chmeeedalf@gmail.com> Subject: Re: Proof # 2 for agp andwhy is gcc still at 3.4 for normal users?

I can't answer the agp thing, I just build with it.=A0 It provides absolute= ly nothing though, except a mostly useless /dev/agpgart (my machine is a si= ngle MDD).=A0 However, system gcc on ppc is 4.2.1, just like on every other= architecture.=A0 The ports are broken, though, last time I checked.=A0 I'v= e managed to build gcc 4.4.0 successfully with some hacks, but nothing wort= h sharing. =0A=0A=0A
