Subject: [TUHS] 4.4BSD sparc, pmax binary recently compiled
Date: Sat, 06 Mar 2021 11:42:01 +0900 (JST)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210306.114201.619231632323334129.mochid@netside.co.jp> (raw)


 I compiled 4.4BSD to get pmax and sparc binary, from CSRG Archive CD-ROM #4
source code.

    http://www.netside.co.jp/~mochid/comp/bsd44-build/

  pmax:
    - Works on GXemul DECstaion(PMAX) emulation.
    - I used binutils 2.6 and gcc 2.7.2.3 taken from Gnu ftp site,
      as 4.4BSD src does not contain pmax support part in as, ld,
      gcc and gdb.
    - Lack of GDB. I got rid of compile errors of gdb 4.16, but that
      does not work yet.
    - gcc included can not deal c++ static constructor. So, contrib/groff
      can not be compiled. Instead, it uses old/{nroff,troff,eqn,tbl..}.

  sparc:
    - Works on sun4c. I use on SPARCstation 2, real hardware.
      TME sun4c emulation can boot to single user, but it locks up in
      middle of /etc/rc.
 
 CSRG Archive CD-ROM #4's source code (just after Lite2 release) seems
have differences from CSRG's binary distributions before (2 times),
e.g. mount systemcall is not compatible.

 I used NetBSD 1.0/sparc, NetBSD 1.1/pmax for 1st (slightly) cross
compiling. NetBSD 1.0/sparc boots and works well on TME emulator.
SunOS 4.1.4, Solaris7 works too, but this 4.4BSD binary doesn't..
