Hello again, everyone! After spectacular failure about building working Cinelerra-GG on ppc64le I moved to more common ppc platform - emulated powerMac! Well, I only installed ubuntu with qemu's -M mac99, and then moved resulted image as virtual drive to another type of machine, supporting SMP (and thus faster for compiles). install: qemu-system-ppc -display sdl,gl=on -M mac99 -cpu g4 -cdrom /mnt/lubuntu-16.04-desktop-powerpc.iso -drive format=raw,file=/mnt/Ubuntu-16.04-ppc.img,index=0,if=virtio -device qemu-xhci -device intel-hda -device virtio-keyboard-pci -nic user,model=virtio -usb -device virtio-mouse-pci -m 2000 -g 1024x768x32 -boot d run (assumes 64-bit qemu host, so smp will be faster actually, using qemu 3.1.0 in my case): ppc64-softmmu/qemu-system-ppc64 -display sdl,gl=off -smp 4 -M ppce500 -cpu e5500 -drive format=raw,file=/mnt/Ubuntu-16.04-ppc.img,index=0,if=virtio -kernel /mnt/linux-image-4.20.12-X1000_X5000/X5000_and_QEMU_e5500/uImage-4.20 -append "rw root=/dev/vda3" -device virtio-vga,virgl=off -device qemu-xhci -device intel-hda -device virtio-keyboard-pci -nic user,model=virtio -usb -device virtio-mouse-pci -m 2000 -g 1024x768x32 gl=off makes colors normal, but console slower .... intel-hda, qemu-ehci and ES1370 fail with dma alloc errors. lightdm will fail to start, log in and 'systemctl disable lightdm' kernel from http://www.xenosoft.de/linux-image-4.20.12-X1000_X5000.tar.gz http://forum.hyperion-entertainment.com/viewtopic.php?f=58&t=4138&sid=72c476... I already run into small failure in libvpx-1.7.0, it will probably exist in libvpx-1.8.0 as well. New libvpx assumes you build for ppc64. Patching configure seems to help: http://openbsd-archive.7691.n7.nabble.com/UPDATE-libvpx-1-8-0-td360246.html --- patches/patch-configure 17 Oct 2018 08:22:29 -0000 1.17 +++ patches/patch-configure 5 Feb 2019 00:18:13 -0000 @@ -2,18 +2,17 @@ $OpenBSD: patch-configure,v 1.17 2018/10 Index: configure --- configure.orig +++ configure -@@ -114,8 +114,10 @@ all_platforms="${all_platforms} armv7s-darwin-gcc" +@@ -115,7 +115,9 @@ all_platforms="${all_platforms} armv7s-darwin-gcc" all_platforms="${all_platforms} armv8-linux-gcc" all_platforms="${all_platforms} mips32-linux-gcc" all_platforms="${all_platforms} mips64-linux-gcc" +all_platforms="${all_platforms} ppc-linux-gcc" - all_platforms="${all_platforms} ppc64-linux-gcc" all_platforms="${all_platforms} ppc64le-linux-gcc" +all_platforms="${all_platforms} sparc-linux-gcc" all_platforms="${all_platforms} sparc-solaris-gcc" all_platforms="${all_platforms} x86-android-gcc" all_platforms="${all_platforms} x86-darwin8-gcc" -@@ -170,7 +172,7 @@ for t in ${all_targets}; do +@@ -166,7 +168,7 @@ for t in ${all_targets}; do [ -f "${source_path}/${t}.mk" ] && enable_feature ${t} done I think you can just add ppc-linux-gcc line without removing ppc64 line.
