https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/guix.git/log/?h=wip-ppc The wip-ppc branch on Savannah is currently in a good state. With the recent rapid churn on core-updates I haven't been very quick about reba
This looks to be about 2 weeks worth of time since the last email, with about 10 days of continuous building and is based on commit 76fc36d0a7215979bb74c05840f5a4de4ab5ea93 which changes the default
I thought not, but it appears it would match all of powerpc* (ins)scheme@(guile-user)> (use-modules (ice-9 regex)) (ins)scheme@(guile-user)> (string-match "powerpc" "powerpc") $1 = #("powerpc" (0 . 7
For me the best way to run 32 bit powerpc software, is using KVM on a POWER9 system. The https://www.powerpc-notebook.org/ will run 32 bit software as well. Tobias
I'll check to see if I can find something upstream. If not I'll report it. FWIW Debian disables the test suite for powerpc. https://sources.debian.org/src/binutils/2.36.1-6/debian/rules/#L537 I like
* gnu/packages/bootstrap.scm (glib-dynamic-linker): Add value for powerpc-linux. * gnu/packages/linux.scm (system->defconfig): New procedure. (linux-libre-headers): Use system->defconfig. * gnu/packa
How significant is the failure, anyway? Are we likely to encounter trouble down the line on powerpc if we don't resolve this? I have no idea, honestly, so I'm asking because I just don't know. I look
Nits: adjust the test suite to do what? The message would be clearer if it explained the purpose of the adjustment. You could also name the phases you added/moved, for extra clarity, if you want to.
strace was easy to do, I have that attached. I haven't used gdb very much. Here's the initial "I figured out how to make it do something": (ins)efraim@g4:~/guile-static$ gdb -q ./bin/guile Reading sy
Hello Carlos! Happy new year! :-) Leo just reminded me of this patch on IRC, and I feel guilty that it stood there for so long. Apologies! address@hidden (Carlos Sánchez de La Lama) skribis: I ended
Hi!, Thanks :) Slowly progressing, quite busy with lately. I will try to address pending comments on patches I already sent (and which are required for powerpc support) before sending the new ones. T
I have also learned that 'best effort' is a grey area in other circles; does it mean you'll move mountains and spare no expense (The Best Effort!™) or that you'll give it a shot but make no promise
In terms of what is more relevant here, IIRC there is some CI code to build cross toolchain stuff to powerpc-linux-gnu. Is it possible that you reused some of that? I don't remember exactly from the
There are a couple families of 32-bit powerpc machines out there with (IIRC) macppc being the most prevalent for desktops. Can it do it "directly" or does it need to be inside of a VM/chroot? I never
Generally speaking, this patch looks fine to me. Just curious, what sort of machines does one use for 32-bit powerpc? I want to build the bootstrap binaries, see if they're reproducible (in particula
