portability(TM) #netbsd #pkgsrc #tigersrc

  • alix3d3 (i586) - it finds out what uses SSE2 when it shouldn’t
  • er4 (evbmips64n64eb) - it finds out when things hardcode a list of supported archs
  • mac mini (powerpc; usually runs darwin) - it finds out when things don’t specify a c/c++ lang std
  • olimex a64 (aarch64) - it finds out when the arm drivers get too piney.
  • banana pi (earmv7hfeb) - ugh.
  • blade 150 (sparc64, bottom) - it finds out EVERYTHING.

100% not running 24/7.

If you've ever built a non-trivial amount of software on Solaris / illumos you've almost certainly hit math function errors like this: error: call of overloaded 'log(int)' is ambiguous I got fed up of adding patches to pkgsrc, and I believe I have a patch that fixes this once and for all. https://www.illumos.org/issues/15209#note-4 I'd appreciate wider testing. I've already tested it in a full ~28,000 package bulk build, but changes like this terrify me, and you can't be too careful. #solaris #illumos #pkgsrc
