<gnucodeIrcIsAwes>It says...if you have a working hurd installation, then you can cross compile it via ./configure && make <youpi>not cross-compile, just compile <youpi>the original question was about just compiling <gnucodeIrcIsAwes>youpi: so I am running Debian Hurd on my T43...if I wanted to use my T43 (X86_64) to build an AArch64 image, that would be cross compiling right? <gnucodeIrcIsAwes>I guess that I am asking...what is the easiest way to run AArch64 Hurd in qemu? <youpi>it would be cross-compiling, yes <youpi>azert's link provides the bits about booting with qemu <sneek>azert, gnucodeIrcIsAwes says: thanks for the debian pastebin for how to use the AArch64 port! <sneek>azert, gnucodeIrcIsAwes says: would you be willing to license the bit of code as GFDL 1.2+ ? That's what most of the wiki is licensed as. If it's licensed that way, it makes it easier to put that sort of thing in say the Hurd manual. <sneek>azert, gnucodeIrcIsAwes says: please do share the patches for the uart <azert>The first one is the serial driver for my board, it’s a very common chip since it’s the one found on x86 <azert>So I think it is generally very useful. <azert>The second one it is some kind of fix up that didn’t deliver what I wanted, maybe solid_black can review it <azert>The third one is solid_black patch to add tracing, in case it was lost <azert>I think that the second patch is because I thought the timer was broken, while in fact it was just the memory error I mentioned yesterday <azert>Dynamically allocated memory would allocate memory that didn’t exist <azert>So I’m really not sure if the second patch is needed <azert>Possibly it is an improvement <azert>None of this code is ready to go, it is just useful for testing <azert>The timer might still be broken.. <azert>In general, I’m not an arm programmer, I’m sure someone with experience with arm hardware could figure this out in minutes <azert>Although, the memory allocation system might be daunting.. netbsd diverged quite a lot in that sector <azert>solid_black: I’ve read in the mailing list that you did some cool gtk + c++ work, I am curious, what did you do ?
