Message-ID: <20201110205621.826d7354fc4a965c5ea23844@platen-software.de> (raw)
Hello,
I've got the wip-ppc branch of Guix compiling unmodified on my Talos II.
Since the POWER9 is backwards compatible with the PowerPC G4, it can run
the existing bootstrap binaries for powerpc-linux. The binaries from
http://flashner.co.il/guix/bootstrap/powerpc-linux/ have been verified
working on my Talos II. I also plan to setup a mirror of those binaries.
[user@staticvoid guix]$ arch

[user@staticvoid guix]$ ps -A | grep guix

[user@staticvoid guix]$ ./pre-inst-env guix build hello
guix build: error: could not find bootstrap binary 'tar' for system 'powerpc64-linux'
[user@staticvoid guix]$ cat /proc/cpuinfo
processor : 0
cpu : POWER9, altivec supported
clock : 2154.000000MHz
