Sorry. More/correct instruction:<br><br> Don't set any CM3 environment variables. <br> Just make sure some cm3 is in $PATH. <br> Go to a machine with a working cm3. Windows probably not preferred, but it might work. <br> On that machine run that script. <br> It may or may not work. <br> If it doesn't work, the errors shouldn't be terrible. You should investigate them. Report them here if stumped (or if you progress). <br> Once it works, you'll have like cm3-IA64_LINUX-timestamp.tar.gz. <br> You copy that .tar.gz to your Linux/ia64 machine. (I use scp.) <br> tar xfz it. <br> cd cm3-IA64-LINUX-timestamp <br> make <br> Which may or may not work, but should make a lot of progress. <br> Once that works, well..more later. It is a major step, but there is a little more to do. <br> You might have to edit the top of the Makefile. <br><br><br> I can predict where the problems will be, but let's see how it goes with minimum hinting from me, ok? <br> You are signed up to waste time, right? :) <br><br><br> Let us know, and please don't give up quickly, thank you,<br> - Jay<br><br><br><br><br><div>> From: mark@wickensonline.co.uk<br>> To: jay.krell@cornell.edu<br>> Date: Tue, 4 Oct 2011 19:06:44 +0100<br>> CC: m3devel@elegosoft.com<br>> Subject: Re: [M3devel] CM3 on IA64?<br>> <br>> Jay,<br>> <br>> I tried this:<br>> <br>> msw@zx6000 /usr/local/cm3-build/cm3/scripts/python $ echo $CM3_INSTALL<br>> /usr/local/cm3-build/cm3/<br>> <br>> msw@zx6000 /usr/local/cm3-build/cm3/scripts/python $ ./boot1.py<br>> IA64_LINUXTraceback (most recent call last):<br>> File "./boot1.py", line 5, in <module><br>> import pylib<br>> File "/usr/local/cm3-build/cm3/scripts/python/pylib.py", line 569, in<br>> <module><br>> for a in os.popen(CM3 + " -version 2>/dev/null"):<br>> TypeError: unsupported operand type(s) for +: 'NoneType' and 'str'<br>> <br>> Am I missing the executable 'cm3'?<br>> <br>> Mark.<br>> <br>> <br>> On Tue, 2011-10-04 at 01:06 +0000, Jay K wrote:<br>> > Can you give me or any of us ssh access to it?<br>> > <br>> > <br>> > Porting is much much easier these days.<br>> > Really, it is not difficult.<br>> > If gcc supports the target and the target is reasonably Posix<br>> > compliant, there is almost nothing to do.<br>> > These are both true for Linux/ia64.<br>> > <br>> > <br>> > Can you try?<br>> > <br>> > <br>> > See<br>> > http://modula3.elegosoft.com/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/cm3/doc/notes/porting.txt?rev=1.6;content-type=text%2Fplain<br>> > <br>> > <br>> > or just go ahead and<br>> > <br>> > <br>> > cd scripts/python <br>> > ./bootstrap.py IA64_LINUX <br>> > <br>> > <br>> > It *might* just work.<br>> > It will certainly almost work.<br>> > There is really very little to it.<br>> > There never was a whole lot really, but there is a lot less now.<br>> > A big part used to be rewriting /usr/include in Modula-3, which was<br>> > tedious, error-prone, and unsafe.<br>> > That is gone now.<br>> > Before pthreads, another part was dissecting jmpbuf.<br>> > That is gone now -- even for user threads.<br>> > <br>> > <br>> > - Jay<br>> > <br>> > > Date: Mon, 3 Oct 2011 23:18:17 +0100<br>> > > From: mark@wickensonline.co.uk<br>> > > To: m3devel@elegosoft.com<br>> > > Subject: [M3devel] CM3 on IA64?<br>> > > <br>> > > Hi guys,<br>> > > <br>> > > Has anyone attempted a port of CM3 to Itanium architecture?<br>> > > I've recently installed gentoo on my ZX6000 and it's all running<br>> > very <br>> > > nicely.<br>> > > My thoughts turned to what would be involved in getting Modula-3<br>> > running.<br>> > > <br>> > > Kind regards, Mark.<br>> > > <br>> > <br>> <br>> <br></div> </div></body>
