[9fans] Where can I find Plan9port binaries running on OS X Lion?

[9fans] Where can I find Plan9port binaries running on OS X Lion?

[David Jeannot]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 1851 bytes --]

Hello,

I would like to use Plan9port (including Acme) on OS X Lion. But building the current Plan9port tree (1ddb9b093c12) with Xcode 4.1 gives me multiple errors.*

Is there a place where I could find Plan9port binaries from an older OS X? I miss Acme terribly.


I wish you a lovely weekend.



* The "multiple errors" are:

1) Devdraw fails to build (http://9fans.net/archive/?q=plan9port%3A+cocoa+programmer+needed).

2) The linker gives "malformed archive TOC entry for" errors with libraries such as lib9, libbio, libmap, libplumb, or libthread (https://bitbucket.org/rsc/plan9port/issue/81/devdraw-does-not-build-on-os-x-lion-latest#comment-585887). Running "for(i in $PLAN9/lib/*.a) ranlib $i" at the right time seems to solve the issue.

3) There seems to be an issue with 9pserve too; launching Plumber gives for example:

	9pserve <nil>: Aug  6 19:20:04.214 note: sys: bus error
	plumber: post9pservice plumb: 9pserve failed


"uname -a" gives:

"gcc -v" gives:

(The "bus error" line doesn't appear if I remove /tmp/ns.*
before I run Plumber, but the "9pserve failed" line always do.)

it's remarkable that the pdp-11 lives on in long-outdated error numbering schemes.

Sorry, even an old build doesn't work. Some dynamic libraries bits
have disappeared. Maybe one can force a static build?

sorry, i posted the binaries in the wrong thread. take a look at
"cocoa programmer wanted" to get the three binaries that work on my
lion installation.

Thank you so much Andrey!

If anyone ever had /bin/9p too, it would be great.

(If someone is interested, I have most of the
other binaries, including bin/plumber, or even
bin/acme with 2-3 chording instead of 2-1
chording, so one can use the Alt key, the Cmd key,
and the trackpad instead of the mouse.  I don't
have bin/acmeevent.)

I don't understand what binaries are this? How do they work in Lion?

[andrey mirtchovski]

they're i386 binaries compiled with an older toolchain (Snow Leopard)
before Lion was installed.

$ file /tmp/9p
/tmp/9p: Mach-O executable i386
$ /tmp/9p -na sources.cs.bell-labs.com ls -l

Yes. How to these work in Lion? My old p9p build simply didn't display
anything devdraw related.

i got the 9pserve fail once (no bus error, just '9pserve failed'), but
it went away when i copied a binary from a different machine. upon
inspection the two binaries were identical. i haven't gotten any
devdraw failures. my p9p tree does not seem to contain any changes
that may be relevant, so I suspect I just got lucky to compile p9p
with a toolchain that works.

acme works for me both on my personal machine, and on my wife's imac
which can be considered a 'pristine' Lion upgrade with no xcode.

i'm unable to compile anything. the cc1-output asm can't be compiled.
i'm useless in diagnosing that.

Just to add to the confusion...

Everything worked fine on mine until I downloaded the new Xcode and
then even without recompiling, the mouse stopped working in everything
Plan 9 related.

well I just hope it's not extended attributes, but I've had weird
problems with them lately on osx.

i can't. the failing 9pserve was from time machine. i re-copied it
from the same place again and it wasn't failing anymore. there may
have been something broken with /tmp/ns.* that got cleared, but apart
from that i'm at a loss to explain it.

why does this remind of of sinkholes in ancient cities.
they're just a fun way of finding you built your house on
a 2d century bce cistern.
