PostPosted: Sat Aug 06, 2011 5:13 am    Post subject: New(ish) PearPC ebuild Reply with quote

Ok, here's the deal:

PearPC 0.5 is out. I've managed to build it on x86 and amd64 with the ebuild posted below.

I'm far from an ebuild expert, so I'm looking for constructive suggestions and opinions from the community. The ebuild is a slight modification to the 0.4 ebuild previously in portage. The jit USE flag would not build on amd64. Have at it, and let me know how it runs!

Revisions:
  • Properly selects JIT CPU on x86 and amd64 2011.08.06

There's a jit flag for x86-64 too, see
Code:
./configure --help | grep jit

Try something like this:
Quote:
if use jit; then
use x86 && myconf="${myconf} --enable-cpu=jitc_x86"
use amd64 && myconf="${myconf} --enable-cpu=jitc_x86_64"
fi

Hmm, there's a bug in the configure script. Running:
Code:
./configure --enable-cpu="jitc_x86_64"
actually selects the "jitc_x86" emulation. Not specifying a CPU compiles fine with jitc_x86_64.

I'll add the fix into the original ebuild up above for now. Should I create a new post for each revision or continue modifying the original post?

Ah, thank you for updating the patch. I tweaked it slightly to be overly anal :) Something about identical results for if/else structure grates my nerves, even though my changes don't really add anything beyond yours... Anyway, custom optimization levels work now, woo.

Hello dobbs, hello sebaro, hello everyone!

I’m using this ebuild now on my ARCH=amd64 system! Thank you for provinding it! This is highly appreciated!

However, I’ve problems using the JIT emulation method x86_64 either way – with and without the ebuild. A 32-Bit JIT version x86 that I created using a chroot32 Gentoo installation doesn’t seem to run properly on my 64-Bit system as well.

The only thing that works is the generic emulation method, which is slow, slow, slow… but relatively stable. I ran Panther and Tiger in it, all without issues (other than the cursor and the CUDA IO issues).

Do your emulations run using the JIT method? x86 or amd64?
I’d be eager to know how it is done, if it is possible at all.

Also, I don’t do networking yet. I’m not using the ifppc_up and ifppc_down scripts at the moment, I just found that the sourced settings file is missing, but it would be included with the installation from the ebuild – provided it is available in the files directory of the ebuild.

Thanks,
Atha
