Hi,
I have just received a SunBlade150 which I would like to put to good use. I understand there is a Centos port underway for the Sparc line.
If it is possible to trash the harddisk and fill it with the bare stuff to make it work I am willing to lend access to the system for developers and also do some things myself.
I am not a programmer but I can spot the incidental error and maybe fix a typo or at least do my best to provide serious feedback in attempts to capture, reproduce and solve issues.
If there is a basic kit somewhere to turn the former Solaris machine and set it on the road to Centos 5 I am willing to add my weight and push the cart along.
Hugo.

Is there anything happening on the SPARC front? I too have some hardware and time and would like to see a SPARC relase. So anyone working on it and need help or can/shall I just start on my own?

see:
That is very alpha and based on centos 5.1 code base.
If you can figure out why most GUI things fail that would be great :D
I am working on getting the 5.2 items done now

I started working on sparc builds. Somehow i hardly can't build anything. Even though i use --target=sparc some builds require /lib64/libc.so.6. Is there any special gcc/glibc setup you used for building?

Have you thought about bootstrapping the process. You could use an linux distro that supports sparc and then build the binaries there. Once you have a working system you can compile everything again to eliminate the dependencies on the host system.
I suppose a chroot would be enough to get something decent quite quickly.
I have always found it very hard to cross compile .
Cheers Didi

I do use a sparc machine with a sparc OS (CentOS). Seem using -mcpu=v9 helps a lot.
