Macports development for PowerPC (10.4, 10.5, 10.6): [unofficial] invitation to cooperate

cellularmitosis said:
ok, just for the record, I changed sources so that macos-powerpc.org and macports.org are enabled, but not my overlay:

Code: 
#file:///Users/macuser/local-overlay

# MacOS PowerPC ports:
rsync://macos-powerpc.org/macos-powerpc/PPCPorts/powerpc-ports.tar

# MacPorts upstream:
rsync://rsync.macports.org/macports/release/tarballs/ports.tar.gz [default]

and ran port sync (which took 24 mintues), and these are the rdeps:

Code: 
macuser@ibookg32(tiger)$ port -v rdeps cctools
The following ports are dependencies of cctools @949.0.1_7+xtools:
  port:apple-gcc42
    port:ld64
      port:ld64-xtools
        path:libexec/darwin-xtools/bin/ld:darwin-xtools
          port:cmake-bootstrap
    port:cctools
    port:gcc_select

macuser@ibookg32(tiger)$ port -v rdeps apple-gcc42 -bootstrap
The following ports are dependencies of apple-gcc42 @5666.3_16:
  port:apple-gcc42
    port:ld64
      port:ld64-xtools
        path:libexec/darwin-xtools/bin/ld:darwin-xtools
          port:cmake-bootstrap
    port:cctools
    port:gcc_select

I'll switch back to using the overlay and resume the build.

These look fine, you could try building this way (I don’t know what is the minimum requirement for xtools).

What did trigger gcc14 in dependencies for apple-gcc42 earlier though? Looks like it is not showing up now with my ports enabled?

I am not sure. It is frustrating that I haven't been able to reproduce it. I gave up and started the build.

Wow, how long did it take so far of compilation time?

Well, I spoke too soon. I was notified that the job finished, but actually the job failed due to disk errors. Unfortunately I wasn’t able to read anything else off the disk, so I couldn’t transfer the build folder to another machine. The build was about 32 hours in, on an iBook G3 500MHz.

It was the excuse I needed to switch to an SSD.

Ohhh. But yeah, fair enough, a machine used to build something rather have a decent drive.
 
Made a port for MacTerm, fixed a newer version to build for ppc:

Do you know if its possible to bring in a newer build of iTerm? It's always been my go-to terminal for its ease of use and featureset.

I am gonna make boostrap curl + PPCPorts installers for 10.6.8 (ppc+i386+x86_64) and 10.5 (ppc+ppc64).
Should make life easier and allow using this on 10.6 with Rosetta.

Made it through gcc7-bootstrap, looks like I am on the right track

Could you say if you have built gcc14 (or at least libgcc14) on Tiger or not yet?
I just need to know if it works with `isl-devel`, or otherwise make sure nobody has it built against `isl-devel` already.

I am thinking to switch 10.4 to a slightly older `isl` port (which MacPorts uses for all systems anyway), but do not want to force a rebuild for anyone, if it has already been built with `isl-devel`.
