I tried netbsd2 and it worked very well the last time I tried. I would expect netbsd1 to fail with pthreads (there is no real distinction among netbsd's in kaffe's code) I don't actively use Machten any longer but if there is interest I could put it on an external disk and give it a spin. I'd have more interest in Aix, which I have. But I have the predecessor of the PowerPC processor, the original POWER. If kaffe's code is generic enough, it will probably run, since a subset of both POWER and PowerPC code is binary compatible. GCC code generated without arch. specification satisfies this. I should hack configure stuff to recognize my platform as supported, but I am no expert with this. >>Why is m68k so different? > >>From ABI's viewpoint, linux and netbsd are same.

I wonder how OpenBSD falls in the line... -Riccardo PS: Kyio when do you submit your improvments? I'm eager to test them on OpenBSD and Linux _______________________________________________ kaffe mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://kaffe.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kaffe
