Thanks for looking into this Carl. I'd be interested in helping with this effort. What is the best way to contact Palmer Dabbelt @ SiFive? Kind regards, On 10 Sep 2019 at 11:47, Carl Dong wrote: > Hi all, > > I've been connected with folks at SiFive who say they are happy to provide > riscv64 b

Maintainer needed for Linux-libre and IceCat packages

2019-09-10 Thread Mark H Weaver
Hello, I need to take a break from Guix. I'm not sure if I'll be back or not. Someone else should take over maintenance of the Linux-libre and IceCat packages, starting with the recent kernel updates for 4.4.192, 4.9.192, 4.14.143, 4.19.72, and 5.2.14. Thanks, Mark

Re: Building Wine with MinGW cross-compilation

2019-09-10 Thread Carl Dong
Hi Rutger! Did you ever figure out the mingw wine cross-compilation? I believe it has something to do with the CROSS_* env vars or search path order, becuase stdarg.h is definitely provided by mingw-w64. Cheers, Carl Dong accou...@carldong.me "I fight for the users"

Help regarding specifics: mingw-w64 cross compilation with posix thread model

2019-09-10 Thread Carl Dong
Hi all, I've been working on our windows cross-compilation support, and realized that the version of mingw-w64 we compile does not have posix threading enabled. This means that any package using C++11 threading support will not be able to compile. Thankfully mingw-w64 provides a pthreads library

Connecting with SiFive: Potential riscv64 boards

2019-09-10 Thread Carl Dong
Hi all, I've been connected with folks at SiFive who say they are happy to provide riscv64 boards for Guix devs depending on availability. I believe riscv64 will be an important architecture to support for all free software. The boards are quite costly right now (~$1000), so it's a good opportu
