similar to: [LLVMdev] llvm-gcc on OpenSolaris for SPARC

Hi, i want to port an open-source project to sparc. I just downloaded OpenSolaris (sol-nv-b75-sparc-...iso), created an empty image for the hard disk, and tried to start qemu in a linux x64bit-host: qemu-system-sparc -hda test.img -cdrom sol-nv-b75-sparc-v1.iso -boot d -nographic The output says: Nvram id QEMU_BIOS, version 1 CPUs: 1 nvram error detected, zapping pram Welcome to OpenBIOS

I am running OpenSolaris build 134 on a T1000 (Sparc). It has been an uphill battle getting this far. Many of the commands I find in the various documentation won''t work for me. ------------------------------------------------------------ steve@t1000:~# pfexec pkg install xvm-gui Creating Plan pkg: ''xvm-gui'' matches multiple packages

Hi, I met some errors when I tried to build LLVM. The tar file is llvm-1.3.tar.gz. I am using a sparc machine with gcc 3.2.2. ------------- Compiling SparcV9CodeEmitter.cpp /uf24/zhou/research/llvm/src/lib/Target/SparcV9/SparcV9CodeEmitter.cpp: In static member function `static void llvm::<unnamed>::JITResolver::CompilationCallback()':

Sparc is a popular target for architecture simulators, and removing that back end would force people using such simulators to use some other compiler infrastructure. Sparc is also useful for University courses. I'd strongly discourage removing this back end. --Vikram Professor, Computer Science University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign http://llvm.org/~vadve On Oct 25, 2011, at 4:00

FYI, I completely agree that we shouldn't remove the sparc target. However, it is currently unmaintained, and has some pretty glaring bugs. Is anyone interested in stepping up to maintain the target? -Chris On Oct 25, 2011, at 6:35 AM, Vikram Adve wrote: > Sparc is a popular target for architecture simulators, and removing that back end would force people using such simulators to use

I've tried it with --with-f2c and with f96 (NAG Fortran compiler) in and out of my $PATH. Can you verify that the configure script works for you without the --with-f2c option?

I downloaded the "QEMU 0.8.2 CVS20070120 + patches snapshot January 20th 2007" and it was compiled ok for "ppc-softmmu" but failed in the "sparc-softmmu" with the message: ../dyngen -o op.h op.o dyngen: ret; restore; not found at end of op_ldstub_kernel can someone tell me what to do or where can I find a QEMU software running on solaris/sparc to lunch linux

I am afraid a search does not get much on this subject, hence this post. Is there a plan for a Nevada build to include zfs root/boot on Sparc architecture? When? This message posted from opensolaris.org

Hi, Searching this alias I can find a number of guides and scripts that describe the configuration of Solaris to boot from a ZFS rootpool. However, these guides appear to be Solaris 10 x86 specific. Is the creation of a ZFS boot disk available for Solaris SPARC ? If so, could you point me in the direction of where I can obtain details of this new feature from. Thanks and Regards, Paul. PS:

Back in October/November 2007 when I asked about Sparc zfs boot and root capabilities, I got a reply indicating late December 2007 for a possible release. I was wondering what is the status right now, will this feature make it into build 79? This message posted from opensolaris.org

Hi, yesterday evening I tried to upgrade my Ultra 60 to 2009.06 from SXCE snv_98. I can''t use AI Installer because OpenPROM is version 3.27. So I built IPS from source, then created a zpool on a spare drive and installed OS 2006.06 on it To make the disk bootable I used: installboot -F zfs /usr/platform/`uname -i`/lib/fs/zfs/bootblk /dev/rdsk/c0t1d0s0 using the executable from my new

Is the source code for llva available esp the linux kernel port. Is there a project page for llva ?

Hi All, I am working on a custom defined architecture which implements Sparc ISA but without floating point instructions. I have two questions regarding using LLVM: 1. How to enable soft-float when building llvm-gcc? 2. How to let llvm-gcc generate native code (binaries) for Sparc? Do I have to compile glibc or newlib for Sparc and link with it together? I am kinda confused so it would be great

HI All, I have acquired a Sun Fire VL 240. I know there is not a SPARC version of CentOS. Can anyone recommend a good OS for a machine that will do apache, postfix, mysql, etc. I know this is sort of a loaded question, but I don't have a lot of knowledge on distros that are stable on Sparc. -Jason

Is there a card for OpenSolaris 2009.06 SPARC that will do SATA correctly yet? Need it for a super cheapie, low expectations, SunBlade 100 filer, so I think it has to be notched for 5v PCI slot, iirc. I''m OK with slow -- main goals here are power saving (sleep all 4 disks) and 1TB+ space. Oh, and I hate to be an old head, but I don''t want a peecee. They still scare me :)
