Once I got the tuits, the merging of these two Parrot configuration steps went quite quickly. But before applying a patch to trunk, I would like the assistance of other testers on the 4 CPU platforms handled by gen::cpu and what formerly was auto::cpu.
The platforms on which we need testers are: i386 ppc x86_64 sun4 I myself have been able to test on i386-linux and ppc-darwin, so I'm reasonably confident of the results there. (Though it would be great to have testers on, say, Win32 and FreeBSD for i386.) Where I could really use some help is with x86_64 and sun4. The easiest way to test would be to check out a sandbox of the 'cpu' branch in our repository, then do a standard run-through in the sandbox and post any failures or anomalies. That is: svn co https://svn.perl.org/parrot/branches/cpu/ cd cpu perl Configure.pl --test make make test Thank you very much. kid51
