[M3devel] CM3 on IA64?

[Jay K]

Sorry. More/correct instruction:

 Don't set any CM3 environment variables. 
 Just make sure some cm3 is in $PATH. 
 Go to a machine with a working cm3. Windows probably not preferred, but it might work. 
 On that machine run that script. 
  It may or may not work. 
  If it doesn't work, the errors shouldn't be terrible. You should investigate them. Report them here if stumped (or if you progress). 
  Once it works, you'll have like cm3-IA64_LINUX-timestamp.tar.gz. 
  You copy that .tar.gz to your Linux/ia64 machine.  (I use scp.) 
  tar xfz it. 
  cd cm3-IA64-LINUX-timestamp 
  make  
  Which may or may not work, but should make a lot of progress. 
    Once that works, well..more later. It is a major step, but there is a little more to do. 
  You might have to edit the top of the Makefile. 


 I can predict where the problems will be, but let's see how it goes with minimum hinting from me, ok? 
 You are signed up to waste time, right? :) 


 Let us know, and please don't give up quickly, thank you,
  - Jay
