Greetings! I just uploaded some new Debian packages today -- barring
minor oversights, maxima should now be available to a great many more
users!
I thought I'd summarize the "porting" state of gcl/maxima. BFD refers
to working bfd relocations -- sgc refers to the accelerated garbage
collection via mprotect/fault address capture:
cpu OS BFD SGC compile max5.6 5.6test Note:
(kernels)
x86 Linux yes all pass pass pass
ppc Linux yes 2.4x pass pass pass (1)
sparc Linux yes no pass pass pass (2)
m68k Linux yes all pass pass pass
arm Linux yes no pass pass one sigill (3)
s390 Linux yes no pass pass pass (4)
mips Linux no no pass no no (5)
mipsel Linux no no pass no no (5)
alpha Linux no no pass no no (6)
ia64 Linux no no pass no no (6)
hppa Linux no no pass no no (6)
sparc solaris yes yes pass pass two errors (7)
x86 w32 ??? no pass pass pass (8)
??? xBSD ??? ??? ???? ???? ???? (9)
??? osX ??? ??? ???? ???? ???? (9)
(1) at least with kernels 2.4.x, SGC relies on siginfo_t here
(2) sparc seems to honor siginfo_t in newer kernels, but apparently
minor issue remains in sgbc.c with PTR_ALIGN being set to 8.
(3) any info, Philip?
(4) should work with 2.4.x, cannot yet test. Can you test for me,
Gerhard?
(5) mips/mipsel should be fully functional once the relocation
support in the bfd library is finished, or I get around to
writing a workaround. MIPS_GOT16 relocs are not currently
handled by the bfd. Any knowledgeable mips people interested?
(6) all these 64bit ports compile, but likely still have a few issues
with sizeof(int)
(7) Dan, can you chase these down in a debugger? What about 5.9 on
solaris?
(8) Mike, would like to know if bfd and/or sgc are working for you.
(9) Anyone looking at these?
Take care,
