Subject: [9fans] P9P on Lemote Yeeloong
Date: Wed, 13 May 2009 21:57:11 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <2b93b6bcf93d8d06edb6ac3a173ade68@proxima.alt.za> (raw)

I thought things were running too smoothly.  I got P9P to compile on
the Lemote Yeeloong with only very frequent ocurrences of warnings
(they seem like compile-time warnings) to the effect that each of
getcontext, makecontext and swapcontext "is not implemented and will
always fail".

Now, the Yeeloong is a notebook based on a MIPS cpu and endowed with
Open Architecture, Open BIOS (called PMON) and Linux (Debian).  The
man page for getcontext() seems to suggest that it exists, but
executing, say, acme fails with:

"threadalloc getcontext: function not implemented"

So close to getting there, but I must be missing something.  Does
anyone know what?
