um, why not? it sounds to me like this should be possible. acquire the source, make the appropriate patches, compile and package.
Or, if that really isn't possible, it would be possible to compile for ppc from an intel machine using the 6.1 packages as a base and patching, then cross compiling. Now, mind you, I am not a coder. I tried to learn how to become one (on the fly). BAD IDEA. I also tried to port a text to speech package from linux over to OpenBSD. I never could get it to work. I know, I spent 6 months trying. Anyway, from what I have read, making the PPC packages should be doable, but I don't have all the knowledge to do it properly other than by basic general instructions. so, is cross compiling a viable option? -eric On Apr 16, 2017, at 3:22 PM, Juan Francisco Cantero Hurtado wrote: > On Sun, Apr 16, 2017 at 01:07:25PM -0700, Eric Oyen wrote: >> well, >> its a standard Theo Response.
