Today with the help of a lucky owner of a ps3 I managed to discover (reading the kboot script would lead to the same knowledge, note to self) that kboot is a real shell after all, so installing gentoo should be easy, BUT:<\/p>\n
– gcc-4.1.1 seems to deplete all the memory -> I’ll provide a build of it
\n– glibc-2.5 needs a patch to build with gcc-4.3 (the dreaded extern inline issue)
\n– newlib got coded using a gcc that let you do things you shouldn’t, gcc-fsf as usual is more strict… (I hopefully fixed it already and I’ll post a patch for it soon)
\n– gcc-4.3 seems to be almost ok beside a nice ICE while building newlib (I’m trying to create a testcase right now)<\/p>\n
In short, gentoo almost installed on a ps3 today, BUT I’ll have to figure out why gcc is depleting that much memory and why enabling swap isn’t helping at. [edit: swap wasn’t enabled …]<\/p>\n
In the mean time I’ll try to build some tbz2 you could use to avoid the memory depletion issue. (note to sony, have a memory expansion for non-game usage)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
