The only reference to SPARC support that I can find in the archives is from a few years back, and the thread concerns issues with make.
How I got here: On a whim, I thought that I would try my pvr250 (and eventually MythTV) in an oldish SPARC machine (an Ultra 10) that I normally have up. I downloaded the drivers off of the ivtv site. I am running debian/sarge and 2.4.27. I can run a compiler and I am (very, very rusty but) passable with C. I am a gcc noob. I am a kernel noob. I am a driver noob. I tried to compile the utilities first. It seems that that the compiler doesn't like the asm instructions (for rdtsc) in two of the the utilities. This makes perfect sense, since the sparc and x86 instruction sets are different. The error message is something along the lines of: impossible constraint in asm I see comments about how ivtv is/will be included with the kernel. Doesn't that mean that there can't be any arch-specific code in the driver? Is there some other version of the driver that I should be compiling at? Googling around, I see some comments from some opensolaris guys for a different but similar problem. They suggest either using a different asm call on sparc (duh) or to use gethrtime: http://www.opensolaris.org/jive/thread.jspa?threadID=5333&tstart=0 Thoughts? -- darin [EMAIL PROTECTED] Database Development and Administration "Change is hardest for those caught by surprise.", Thomas Friedman __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
