Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] OpenIndiana or OpenSolaris version with PowerPC support?
Hi, thanks a lot for your replies, My main interest was at how the libc port was done, and specially, the support for long double in math and printf. However, looking at that github archive I couldn't find support for long double... perhaps it was never implemented, as it's incomplete as you noted.

This is the last copy I downloaded of the PPC source code 542 % ls -l sunlabs-osppc-src-20061002.tar -rw-rw-rw- 1 jkempusers373918208 Aug 17 2010 sunlabs-osppc-src-20061002.tar 543 % I believe that this was the last publically available source download, but if anyone can confirm or deny, it is appreciated.

[OpenIndiana-discuss] OpenIndiana or OpenSolaris version with PowerPC support?
Hi! By reading the Wikipedia page about Solaris (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solaris_(operating_system) ), I somehow get the conclusion that PowerPC was added into OpenSolaris at some point, and not only through Polaris, but merging it into OpenSolaris actually. However, the paragraph explaining it seems a bit unclear, so maybe I'm not reading it correctly. Is there any OpenIndiana or OpenSolaris version with PowerPC support? I'm mostly interested in the source code rather than in a working binary installation. Thanks a lot, ardi ___ openindiana-discuss mailing list openindiana-discuss@openindiana.org https://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/openindiana-discuss
