Bitslingers-R-Us#NetBSD #m68k now has binary packages for clang and llvm.

Does anyone want to give them a try?
mirabilos@AnachronistJohn a coworker wanted to get irssi working on his Amiga, but at cmake or so it stopped; did you ever get it built (w/o perl bindings maybe)?
@mirabilos I ran irssi for years on my Amiga :)
I suppose my build machines haven’t gotten far enough to build irssi yet, but it’s not large, so I’ll build it manually.
cmake is HUGE, but it’s already built for m68k.
One trick when building packages that aren’t yet available is to use the make bin-install target, which tries to install binary packages for anything available, dependencies included (like cmake), and builds from source only when a binary package isn’t available.
@AnachronistJohn hmm, he says that even when he installs cmake, pkgsrc tried to build it again. I told him about
make bin-install, and he may try it when back at home (we’re onsite this week).@mirabilos I suppose that can happen if you’re using current pkgsrc but have installed packages from a quarterly release.
It’s always good to learn how to fix things.
For now, though, irssi is available for download :)
Robert Doerfler@AnachronistJohn @mirabilos Hey, irssi works! btw. building CMake on an Amiga 1200/Terrible Fire 1260+128MB Ram finally bailed with “virtual memory exhausted: Cannot allocate memory” after 28 hours of trying to build. ulimits were all set right though.
@lordnkon @mirabilos Certain software is a huge pain to build, and cmake is one of them. For packages like cmake, several of my build machines have 256 megs or more of memory. It might be possible in 128 megs with more swap (it can be built on VAX with 128 megs), but I don’t know for sure.
Glad to hear that irssi works! I used it for ages on m68k, although it’s been a few years since my m68k machine has been a general use shell server.
