Some people will do anything for crunchons -- or "promised future" crunchons. (A crunchon is a unit of number-crunching.) I was wondering why this SDK wasn't already part of the SuSe or FC7 releases. Ten minutes of research later, the answer is: it's proprietary. Why would anyone on this mailing list want to install proprietary compilers? The IBM license agreement is extortionate. Besides the usual rape and pillage, it says that: http://www14.software.ibm.com/cgi-bin/weblap/lap.pl?la_formnum=&li_formnum=L-MCHN-6MVMPV&title=XL%20C/C%2B%2B%20Alpha%20Edition%20for%20Cell%20Processor * You are not authorized to use the Program for productive purposes * THE PROGRAM MAY CONTAIN A DISABLING DEVICE THAT WILL PREVENT IT FROM BEING USED AFTER THE EVALUATION PERIOD ENDS. YOU MAY NOT TAMPER WITH THIS DISABLING DEVICE OR THE PROGRAM. YOU SHOULD TAKE PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID ANY LOSS OF DATA THAT MIGHT RESULT WHEN THE PROGRAM CAN NO LONGER BE USED. * You assign to IBM all right, title, and interest (including ownership of copyright) in any data, suggestions, or written materials that 1) are related to the Program and 2) You provide to IBM. * Your right to run the program "ends after 90 days." [I hope Eric hasn't provided IBM a copy of the GNU Radio code that compiles under this compiler: IBM will end up owning the copyright on GNU Radio. This may occur even if Eric just posts the code in a public place where IBM can download it.] If the above wasn't enough, it's also against GNU project policy to use the mailing list or project documentation to advertise or advocate for proprietary software. If the GNU compilers for the CELL aren't good enough for us, I suggest that we improve them. If we just can't exploit the CELL processor without proprietary software and patented algorithms, then I suggest we go back to focusing on hosting GNU Radio on hardware that comes with freedom.
