All,
I've been successful in building Mono 5.x for powerpc64.
I currently have Mono 5.14.0.177 running. However, there are some
remaining issues.
- VisualC# (csc.exe) does not support big endian and probably never will.
- Mono for powerpc64 SIGABRT when building or running F#. On Powerpc,
you can build F#,
by changing the value for Tailcall" in cpu-ppc.md from 120 to 124.
You can work around the VisualC# issue by substituting mcs.exe for
csc.exe. However,
there's not currently a fix or work around for F# on powerpc64.
I've also been able to build most other .NET tools and bindings.
I was able to build MonoDevelop 6.1.2 on both 32-bit and 64-bit powerpc,
with
a little editing of the solution file "Main.sln", removing all
references to FSharp.
This gives me a working development environment, minus the F# binding.
There are issues
with compiling new versions of MonoDevelop which I will address in
another forum.
Fixes for mono on powerpc/powerpc64 have already been submitted and
committed to the mono
project source master on GITHUB. However, previously released versions
require port patches
which I'll submitt via PR.
I can provide additional information if anyone is interested.

Hi Curtis,
At the time I did the ppc32 port I did not have a ppc64 machine, then I
lost interest. It was mostly a checkbox for m, and every app I tried
written in C# was very unstable, so I didn't pursue it any further than
that. As you saw, it bitrotted pretty quickly.
What issues are you running into with 64-bit?

Justin,
I understand that you once worked on Mono for ppc/ppc64. If so, were
you able to get it working on ppc64?
With the recent changes in Mono 5.x, I got 32-bit Mono working. But
have run into a brick wall with 64-bit.
Regards,
Curtis

I'm working to get the current Mono release to build on PowerPC64

I wanted to check if anyone has experience with building Mono on
non-X86 platforms. I'm sure that no one has build Mono on
FreeBSD/PowerPC because there is an error in
"mono/utils/mono-sigcontext.h" that prevents Mono from building,
32-bit. The code in question is:
Justin Hibbits did this work in the past, IIRC, but he hasn't worked
on PPC/PPC64 mono in several years.
