To make the genunix, I use the following steps on a x86 solaris. Hope that we are all on the same edge: 1. bldenv -d polaris.sh 2. export EXTRA_OPTIONS="D__powerpc U_BIG_ENDIAG" (I donot know why the bldenv cannot set it in my setup, so I did this manually) 3. create those no-no ctf* scripts in /opt/onbld/bin/ppc 4. make in uts/ppc/genunix > Otherwise if someone volunteer to take care of CTF support for PPC it'll > be > wonderful. > > -- > Regards, > Cyril Darren, do you have any idea how the ABI_i386.db or ABI_sparc.db are generated, manually :)? Joerg, the comments from http://cvs.opensolaris.org/source/xref/on/usr/src/uts/common/sys/ctf.h gives good description of CTF.
