The only thing that should be time consuming is a kernel build - This can be built with a cross compiler without any side effects. No user space libraries are used in kernel space (if they are, someone needs a kick up the..). If you are comfortable with Gentoo, install it on a second hard drive on the Mac - Just because these guys are developing for ubuntu, it doesn't mean you have to. > On Mon, 2008-02-11 at 10:33 +0200, Alex Joni wrote: > > just some snippets from the RTAI mailing list: > > (Thread called "[Rtai] rtai on a ppc405 (Xilinx XUP Boad)" from the 1st > > February 2008) ppc405 != G4 > > "> - Is it possible to use a newer Kernel than 2.6.14, are there any more > > patches? Since 2.6.18 (as I recall), the powerpc and ppc architectures have been merged in to one (as have i386 & x86_64 in 2.6.24). The latest ipipe patch from the ADEOS team works reasonably well with 2.6.23 but I don't think it is in use by RTAI yet. Before you ask, yes, I do have kernels for i386, x86_64, AND PowerPC installed & running - All patched with the latest ipipe patches (plus a couple more). The PowerPC kernel was also cross-compiled on an AMD64 box without any problem. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
