Getting ARB to work on Linux PPC64
Posted by Sayamindu 3 years, 11 months ago
Yesterday I went to WBUT, and helped Dr. Lothar Richter (a member of the ARB development team) to get ARB up and running on the Gentoo PPC64 (on the IBM pSeries machine). The good news is that ARB now compiles on the system with GCC 3.4.2 (though it took us a whole day to get rid of the compile errors). However, it still segfaults while trying to show the main window - and it seems to be a bug with the Xlibs. Our plan is to get the latest Xorg and compile ARB against that - let’s see what happens.
