Re: [cdt-dev] new architecture support

[Greg Watson <gwatson@xxxxxxxx>]

Not yet. I thought I'd start with something relatively stable since I'm 
still getting my head around the whole thing. I'll try building from 
HEAD soon though.

I did notice the gtk64 support, and for a fleeting moment though about 
trying to do a ppc64 build. I take it you're running your G5 in 32bit 
mode? My machine is running a 64bit kernel, but the problem is not all 
the libraries are 64bit (in particular GTK), which makes building 
Eclipse a nightmare. The prospect of rebuilding everything from source 
is daunting (come to think of it, maybe gentoo is the way to go...)

My plans are;

- fix icon problem (not displaying properly in views) with GTK version 
(Motif is soooo fast, but soooo ugly)
- finish OSX CDT port (Mach-O binary support is painful)
- update to HEAD
- look at gtk-ppc64

Regards,

Greg
