Compiling engine for SPARC64

Post by sunnystormy »

I'm currently porting an operating system to SPARCv9 and read on the FreeBSD ports page for Irrlicht-1.8.4 that the engine has a problem compiling for that architecture?

https://svnweb.freebsd.org/ports/head/x ... iew=markup

If you look at line 41 you'll see that there's a broken compilation target for the engine. I just wanted to know if people here had any idea of what could possibly be responsible for that?

Thank you!

Sorry, our only sparc developer is no longer contributing. So we have no test-systems for that anymore.

Good to know. :)

I'm actually in the process of creating a new SPARCv9 chip and am testing its implementation on an FPGA. Would you mind if I take over the role of managing a SPARC64 port?

If you have any patches you can post them. It's usually just minor stuff like some changes in includes which are easy to apply for us. If that doesn't work out I'm basically also ok if you take over support for longer, but lets see first if that is necessary.
