Where did the power3/power4 ppc64 flavours go ?
|
|
===============================================
|
|
|
|
As of 2.6.12, and anticipating the inclusion of a powerpc biarch
|
|
toolchain in debian sid and then etch, we have dropped the 32bit
|
|
ppc64 flavours. I will provide unofficial -pseries (replace all
|
|
previous 64bit flavours) at :
|
|
|
|
http://people.debian.org/~luther/ppc64
|
|
|
|
until we are able to build them inside of debian, which will
|
|
hopefully be only a couple of weeks now.
|
|
|
|
But if you feel impatient, here are the instructions on how to build
|
|
those arches yourselves :
|
|
|
|
1) install the ubuntu/breezy glibc and gcc-4.0 packages (preferably
|
|
in a sid chroot)
|
|
2) go into debian/arch/powerpc
|
|
3) rename the 32bit flavours to noconfig.powerpc[-smp]
|
|
4) rename the 64bit flavours to config.pseries
|
|
5) edit Makefile.inc, and change the last three lines to :
|
|
headers_subarch = powerpc
|
|
build_subarch = powerpc64
|
|
6) go into the toplevel, and launch :
|
|
dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -us -uc -B
|
|
|
|
This should build you a couple of packages, where you would be interested
|
|
in the linux-image-2.6.12-1-pseries and linux-headers-2.6.12-1-pseries ones.
|
|

|
Enjoy,
