CRUX PPC 2.6 released

Author: cjg

CRUX PPC 2.6 is now available. It works on Apple 32bit “NewWorld” G3/G4 and Apple 64bit G5, Genesi PegasosII and Efika, Acube Sam440ep, IBM RS/6000 CHRP (604e), YDL Powerstation, IBM Intellistation POWER, and IBM pSeries RS64/POWERn.
CRUX PPC 2.6 is, as usual, released via two different installation ISO: 32bit and 64bit. The 32bit version is based on a single lib toolchain instead the 64bit one comes with a multilib toolchain. These two versions share the same ports tree.

Call for a PowerPC based notebook

Author: cjg

My iBook is definetevly dead. Altough I’m owning (as a CRUX-PPC developer) an YDL PowerStation and a Sam440ep, I feel more difficult developing for the PowerPC architecture without a notebook based on that, because I can’t carry with me that machine (PowerStation and Sam440ep) as a notebook, and I have to go about everyday to the university.

So if you are a CRUX-PPC user, or just a PowerPC entusiast and you have a PowerPC based notebook (no matter how old it is) that you don’t use (often) please consider donating or borrowing it to the CRUX-PPC Project, you (or your company) will be mentionated in the CRUX-PPC’s donors page.

Thank you!
