Re: Building a release



Hi,

I am attempting to build a sparc64 release from current. The build
fails after several days with the following:-

You could just cheat by removing that file, then re-running with -u.

Can anyone tell me which Sun machines are likely to build a sparc64
release in a sensible amount of time?

This should work most of the time, but -current is always in a state of flux. Test with a super fast multi-core machine, then, if it works, build on an UltraSPARC.

I have tried cross compiling but the sparc architecture is not
supported on any of the other machines that I have. Is it possible to
cross compile to sparc64? If so, on which machine?

I've cross-compiled using a few different Linux distros and, of course, multiple architectures running NetBSD (Alpha, amd64, aarch64). A tree from December 14th, 0:46 UTC, for instance, now fails with 75 nouveau files missing. I expect that'll be be fixed shortly.

John
