Greetings Plan9 community,
I finally got my plan9 installation to work fine with qemu and I just
wanted to share my joy with all of you.
It took me a while because I spent a couple weeks just reading all
possible information about plan9, sadly enough I had no idea of the
existence of the OS, it came to my attention thanks to a recent Slashdot
post.
The OS is great, I got 9fs to work fine with the outside world (I am
connected to sources right now). Also nntpfs works fine I even read the
latest posts in comp.os.plan9 in my /mnt/news/comp/os/plan9 directory.
Too bad I could not post from there too.
Anyway, I already have tons of question that I will defer for a better
moment if I don't find answers for them online first. In the meantime I
wonder what happened to all the "cross" compilers (like 2c, 3c, etc )
they seem to be missing from the 386/bin dir.
Regards,
-Leonardo Valencia

i don't think all the compilers are "compiled" in, but if you go to
/sys/src/cmd/ and do a 'mk all; mk install' you'll get at least a few
more. try for example the alpha compilers:
for(i in a c l) { cd /sys/src/cmd/7$i && mk install }
then try:
%objtype=alpha mk all
in /sys/src/cmd. it'll be a useless exercise as you don't have any
alpha machines (i presume) but still worth a try, just for kicks.
do ask your questions here, many of us keep learning when another,
more knowledgable 9fan responds, even if we think we know the answer
:)

Thanks a lot for the great pointer ! I will compile a couple of them
just for fun. I don't have any alpha machines around, but I think qemu
can emulate some other ones (like ppc and mips) not sure if plan9 will
install on those emulations but I can try.

I will ask my questions here then (not tonight though) thanks again for
your quick response!

Welcome! I am sure you will have lots of fun discovering the system :)

doesn't the post file work for you?
in the old days, one could cd /usr/spool/news/comp/os/plan9/
(i may have that path slightly wrong -- it's been a while)
and read from there.

You can't post directly to c.o.plan9
