I dropped gcc7 two years back and using whatever latest version MacPorts has, they work fine and certainly better than gcc7 (there were a number of ppc-specific bugs fixed recently, and fixes were not back-ported to gcc7).
Right now built gcc15 from the current master and running Fortran test suite :)

I will try building Mono over the weekend. I remember it did not build for me earlier but not sure the failure was identical.

For the record, did you change anything as compared to my branch? (I mean, you could also have fixed something which is unfixed there, that will be useful.)
I have to -I$(top_srcdir)/libatomic_ops/src to the makefile of bdwgc (or whatever the garbage collector is). I also commented out some lines that fail to compile because of pthread_getname_np, which I think is just some logging.

I wonder if we may use instead https://ports.macports.org/port/boehmgc

It originally supported PowerPC, so unless Mono upstream did something specific to break it, it should build.
I made a port earlier for `iv`, which uses its own bundled `bdwgc`, and I only had to patch arm64 support in: https://github.com/macports/macports-ports/blob/master/devel/iv/files/patch-gc-arm64.diff
PowerPC was fine as-is.
 
I should probably not do this in the middle of my lunch break at work... I was using your project on github but I didn't have the right branch selected.

Ok... I tried again with the right branch this time..

Just to see how far the compilation would go I changed


Code:
static void G_GNUC_UNUSED
sgen_client_binary_protocol_empty (gpointer start, size_t size)
{
#if 0
    if (sgen_ptr_in_nursery (start))
        MONO_GC_NURSERY_SWEPT ((mword)start, size);
    else
        MONO_GC_MAJOR_SWEPT ((mword)start, size);
#endif
}

and in


Code:
static void
dump_threads (void)
{
    MonoThreadInfo *cur = mono_thread_info_current ();

    g_async_safe_printf ("STATE CUE CARD: (? means a positive number, usually 1 or 2, * means any number)\n");
    g_async_safe_printf ("\t0x0\t- starting (GOOD, unless the thread is running managed code)\n");
    g_async_safe_printf ("\t0x1\t- detached (GOOD, unless the thread is running managed code)\n");
    g_async_safe_printf ("\t0x2\t- running (BAD, unless it's the gc thread)\n");
    g_async_safe_printf ("\t0x?03\t- async suspended (GOOD)\n");

    g_async_safe_printf ("\t0x?05\t- async suspend requested (BAD)\n");
    g_async_safe_printf ("\t0x6\t- blocking (BAD, unless there's no suspend initiator)\n");
    g_async_safe_printf ("\t0x?07\t- blocking async suspended (GOOD)\n");
    g_async_safe_printf ("\t0x?08\t- blocking self suspended (GOOD)\n");
    g_async_safe_printf ("\t0x?09\t- blocking suspend requested (BAD in coop; GOOD in hybrid)\n");

    FOREACH_THREAD_SAFE_ALL (info) {
#ifdef TARGET_MACH
        //char thread_name [256] = { 0 };
        //pthread_getname_np (mono_thread_info_get_tid (info), thread_name, 255);

        //g_async_safe_printf ("--thread %p id %p [%p] (%s) state %x  %s\n", info, (void *) mono_thread_info_get_tid (info), (void*)(size_t)info->native_handle, thread_name, info->thread_state, info == cur ? "GC INITIATOR" : "" );

#endif
    } FOREACH_THREAD_SAFE_END
}

And I get this error:

So it seems like a dtrace issue. The commented out lines in sgen-client-mono.h are two macros that are defined in mono-dtrace.h as:
Code:
#define    MONO_GC_MAJOR_SWEPT(arg0, arg1) \
{ \
    __asm__ volatile(".reference " MONO_TYPEDEFS); \
    __dtrace_probe$mono$gc__major__swept$v1$75696e747074725f74$75696e747074725f74(arg0, arg1); \
    __asm__ volatile(".reference " MONO_STABILITY); \
}


#define    MONO_GC_NURSERY_SWEPT(arg0, arg1) \
{ \
    __asm__ volatile(".reference " MONO_TYPEDEFS); \
    __dtrace_probe$mono$gc__nursery__swept$v1$75696e747074725f74$75696e747074725f74(arg0, arg1); \
    __asm__ volatile(".reference " MONO_STABILITY); \
}



and in https://github.com/barracuda156/mono/blob/ppc-fix1/mono/utils/dtrace.h as:
Code:
#define MONO_GC_NURSERY_SWEPT(addr,len)
#define MONO_GC_NURSERY_SWEPT_ENABLED()    (0)


#define MONO_GC_MAJOR_SWEPT(addr,len)
#define MONO_GC_MAJOR_SWEPT_ENABLED()    (0)

If those lines aren't commented out I get this error:

make[3]: *** [libmonosgen_la-sgen-alloc.lo] Error 1

This is perhaps not obvious when you build outside of MacPorts, and sorry for not thinking about that.
I have the following args in the portfile:
Code:
configure.args-append   --enable-dtrace=no \
                        --enable-nls \
                        --with-libgdiplus=${prefix}/lib/libgdiplus.dylib \
                        --with-sigaltstack=no

# Temporary fix for broken configure.
# https://trac.macports.org/ticket/67383
platform darwin powerpc {
    configure.args-append \
                        --disable-gss
}

Notice, that these could be no longer relevant. I think I did not bother much with dtrace back then since anything broken but optional can be dealt with later on.

UPD. Apparently GSS bug was not fixed, and the code still does some nonsense which fails:
Code:
:info:build   CCLD     libmono-native.la
:info:build ld: framework not found GSS

I never used the thing, so got no idea how to debug. I need to run at least something to see what GDB spits out.

UPD. And does it do a right thing trying to use a pre-built `mcs` binary downloaded from the web?

P. S. Just in case, the issue: https://github.com/mono/mono/issues/21649

I have to -I$(top_srcdir)/libatomic_ops/src to the makefile of bdwgc (or whatever the garbage collector is). I also commented out some lines that fail to compile because of pthread_getname_np, which I think is just some logging.

So this builds for me: https://github.com/barracuda156/macports-ports-powerpc/tree/mono_6.12.0.206

Apparently for w/e reason `mscorelib` is not built, but is expected when other software is built with Mono.
I.e. perhaps we need also to built this: https://github.com/mono/mono/tree/main/mcs/class/corlib

(No idea why it does not build, I did nothing special for that.)

P. S. Built port: mono-6.12.0.206_0.darwin_10.ppc.tbz2
Thanks a lot for you work barracuda!!!!!

I think mscorelib does not build because we do not yet have a working mcs (the C# compiler), and mscorelib is written in C#. So we now have the difficult task of bootstrapping the C# compiler. It's a chicken-and-egg issue since we need a C# compiler to build mcs since mcs is also written in C#.

For mscorelib, I wonder if we could move it from a working mono install on modern x86 linux since it's C#/JIT compiled so the host architecture it was built on shouldn't matter (I think).

Come to think of it, I wonder if we could just move a working mcs from linux?

Also, on https://github.com/mono/mono/issues/21649 you mention that the prebuilt mcs is for x86. I think that's normal for mono-compiled exes to be reported as i386/x86 even tho they're JIT compiled. It's annoying because MS decided to use the .exe file extension for .NET assemblies even tho they're different from normal .exe AOT-compiled binaries.

I tried running something but it complains about not being able find pthread_setname_np... I'm assuming that's on 10.6+. I'll try to get Snow Leopard installed.

Well, if you are eager to run 10a190, welcome to do so, and you may test my MacPorts distribution for it. (As long as you do that on a clean system, there are no risks.)
http://macos-powerpc.org/MacPorts/MacPorts-Snow-PowerPC.pkg (presumably it should work normally and not require any manual tweaks; no guarantees are given whatsoever, but I do support this, so issues will be addressed).

If you rather wanna have it built on 10.5.8, this may work: https://github.com/macports/macports-legacy-support/commit/21ae68babfea7db77cd793d46c176141afcaf5be

P. S. It Mono `pthread_setname_np` it was introduced in https://github.com/mono/mono/commit...84301ea01c824f0c7ab295b7a891e3c7a3dd8bcce1e47 (sure enough, unconditionally).
It does not look sensible to revert that commit, but just for the reference.

I installed 10.6 but it somehow ended up being pretty borked... the finder had weird graphical errors like not showing text unless highlighted. disks not ejecting, and libraries being broken. I probably did something wrong so I'll try again later.

Unfortunately I know nothing about C# so stacktraces do not tell me much.
There is also a crash log perhaps in a usual logs dir for crash reporter, could you dig out that one?

Finder in 10.6 is buggy, what you described is expected, more or less.
Solutions:
1. Use a third-party file manager (Path Finder or something open-source).
2. Use list view in Finder, then it works almost normally. Disk mounting and ejection work in fact, but Finder fails to update you. Restart the Finder, you will see mounted disks. Onyx 2.0.5 works on 10a190 and can be used to enable quit menu for Finder. Otherwise I am sure there are terminal commands.

Aside of crappy Finder it is pretty normal however. (Perhaps jpeg rendering by Finder will be weird (but it works perfectly fine in any apps) and outgoing internet sharing may not work.)
I use 10.6 ppc as my normal system and can assure you it is perfectly usable. Finder is bad, yes.
 
Once I am done with building gcc 13.3.0 (which I wanna complete first), I will rebuild Mono, addressing issues I point above. May not make it working yet, but they look like they should be fixed.

gcc will take about 4 hours, and I am not at the machine yet, so no sooner than in 6–7 hrs. But I will update on that.

Unfortunately I know nothing about C# so stacktraces do not tell me much.
There is also a crash log perhaps in a usual logs dir for crash reporter, could you dig out that one?

Finder in 10.6 is buggy, what you described is expected, more or less.
Solutions:
1. Use a third-party file manager (Path Finder or something open-source).
2. Use list view in Finder, then it works almost normally. Disk mounting and ejection work in fact, but Finder fails to update you. Restart the Finder, you will see mounted disks. Onyx 2.0.5 works on 10a190 and can be used to enable quit menu for Finder. Otherwise I am sure there are terminal commands.

Aside of crappy Finder it is pretty normal however. (Perhaps jpeg rendering by Finder will be weird (but it works perfectly fine in any apps) and outgoing internet sharing may not work.)
I use 10.6 ppc as my normal system and can assure you it is perfectly usable. Finder is bad, yes.
I was having other really bad issues too like gcc crashing because it cannot find fopen, and the macports install you linked to hanged. I'll try another install and see how that goes.
 
Is this what you're looking for?

I was having other really bad issues too like gcc crashing because it cannot find fopen, and the macports install you linked to hanged. I'll try another install and see how that goes.

1. Just in case, you did install Xcode, right? Use the one from 10a190 image.

2. Which gcc crashed? Xcode, from my packages or some other one (how was it built?)?
Xcode gcc from 10a190 must work. If they don’t, something is wrong. My gccs hopefully work, but if there are issues, we can fix them. If you borrow gcc built on another system, it is expected not to work, don’t do that.

3. Installation of MacPorts I linked should work. At least I tried it on two machines, it worked as expected. I also verified that installing pre-built packages work. I did not test using anything installed though, so something could go wrong here. What I expect not to work out of the box is X11, since Apple one is broken. It should be wiped out, and MacPorts one used instead (xorg-server-legacy).
 
While gcc is building, I can clone a clean 10a190 image, install Xcode and try running the linked MacPorts (build something using pre-built gcc13) to see if that works correctly.
If it does, I will write it step-wise.

I also encourage building MacPorts from source instead of using my distfile, but you will need a few adjustments (see my branch of the base, but I will return to this) and my pem keys (assuming you want to use pre-built stuff).
But everything can be done from scratch, if desired, then you are sure nothing goes wrong due to pre-built software.

I installed xcode 3.2, just the normal one from Apple and it was xcode's gcc. Was there another Xcode I was supposed to install?

Which image? (Sorry for being annoying on this, but it is important.)

The only configuration which shall work out of the box is 10a190 with Xcode from 10a190.
Specifically, I use the cloneable image to install the OS (not the DVD ISO) and then DVD ISO of 10a190 to install Xcode.

No other Xcode will work without quite a bit of manual tweaking.

UPD. To be precise, use this to install 10.6 on the PowerMac:
Use this specific ISO to install Xcode: 10.6_snowleopard_10a190_clientdvd.iso

https://developer.apple.com/service...=/Developer_Tools/xcode_3.2/xcode3210a432.dmg is the xcode I used

Is the SL image you provided the one where you can install it from Disk Utility or is the one where I have to manually move kexts?

Please do not use that Xcode, it is expected not to work. (Besides getting an incompatible SDK installed, you will have a large chunk of Unix tools without ppc slices, so it will be literally broken.)
The only working Xcode is the one from the same OS version, 10A190. (You can tweak 10A222 Xcode into being usable, but it will require replacing multiple binaries.)

I use the image which you can clone with Disk Utility, though this is for convenience sake; given someone did it via hacking kexts, it is certainly possible.

Ok, gcc13 build started, so it will be about 4 hrs till I can deal with building other stuff.

I will try to write some stuff in the meanwhile to specify what is to be used, that will save some time and nerves, hopefully LOL

Could you confirm if you face the same issues with the correct Xcode being installed? If yes, I will try to reproduce that on a PowerBook.
