I have set up a PPC-based server (dual-core 2.0 GHz Power Mac G5) to do nightly downloads and builds of the MacRuby trunk. The current snapshot was made at 2350 PDT; the next and following runs will occur at 0500. I plan to install a script RSN to remove ancient output. Clues and suggestions welcome... -r Building LLVM ------------- The README file suggests using: UNIVERSAL_ARCH="i386 x86_64" for building LLVM. This doesn't seem reasonable for a PPC machine. So, based Dömötör Gulyás's hint on how to build MacRuby, I tried: UNIVERSAL_ARCH="ppc i386" After an interminable series of compilations, the build finished: llvm[4]: Linking Release executable Sample (without symbols) llvm[4]: ======= Finished Linking Release Executable Sample (without symbols) make[1]: Nothing to be done for `all'. llvm[0]: ***** Completed Release Build Installing LLVM --------------- I then tried to install llvm, but got LOTS of errors of the form: /opt/local/bin/ginstall: cannot create regular file `/usr/local/include/./.svn/all-wcprops': No such file or directory I then alternated between mkdir and "make install" commands for a while, making the following directories: /usr/local/include/.svn /usr/local/include/llvm/.svn /usr/local/include/llvm/.svn/{prop-base,text-base} /usr/local/include/llvm/ADT/.svn/ /usr/local/include/llvm/ADT/.svn/{prop-base,text-base} /usr/local/include/./llvm/Analysis/.svn /usr/local/include/./llvm/Analysis/.svn/{prop-base,text-base} /usr/local/include/./llvm/Assembly/.svn /usr/local/include/./llvm/Assembly/.svn/{prop-base,text-base} /usr/local/include/./llvm/Bitcode/.svn /usr/local/include/./llvm/Bitcode/.svn/{prop-base,text-base} /usr/local/include/./llvm/CodeGen/.svn /usr/local/include/./llvm/CodeGen/.svn/{prop-base,text-base} /usr/local/include/./llvm/CompilerDriver/.svn /usr/local/include/./llvm/CompilerDriver/.svn/{prop-base,text-base} /usr/local/include/./llvm/Config/.svn /usr/local/include/./llvm/Config/.svn/{prop-base,text-base} /usr/local/include/./llvm/Debugger/.svn /usr/local/include/./llvm/Debugger/.svn/{prop-base,text-base} /usr/local/include/./llvm/ExecutionEngine/.svn /usr/local/include/./llvm/ExecutionEngine/.svn/{prop-base,text-base} /usr/local/include/./llvm/Support/.svn /usr/local/include/./llvm/Support/.svn/{prop-base,text-base} /usr/local/include/./llvm/Support/.svn /usr/local/include/./llvm/Support/.svn/{prop-base,text-base} /usr/local/include/./llvm/System/.svn /usr/local/include/./llvm/System/.svn/{prop-base,text-base} /usr/local/include/./llvm/Target/.svn /usr/local/include/./llvm/Target/.svn/{prop-base,text-base} /usr/local/include/./llvm/Transforms/.svn /usr/local/include/./llvm/Transforms/.svn/{prop-base,text-base} /usr/local/include/./llvm/Transforms/IPO/.svn /usr/local/include/./llvm/Transforms/IPO/.svn/{prop-base,text-base} /usr/local/include/./llvm/Transforms/Utils/.svn /usr/local/include/./llvm/Transforms/Utils/.svn/{prop-base,text-base} /usr/local/include/./llvm-c/.svn /usr/local/include/./llvm-c/.svn/{prop-base,text-base} /usr/local/include/./llvm-c/Transforms/.svn /usr/local/include/./llvm-c/Transforms/.svn/text-base This was really tedious. I assume that there is something I (or the build script) should have done to obviate this hassle. Suggestions? Build, Specs, Benchmarks ------------------------ The build proceeded without any apparent problems. The specs proceeded without any apparent problems. The benchmarks stalled for a looooooong time here: 50000 raise 942.180000 13.450000 955.630000 (536.527173) Examining code, output, etc. ---------------------------- The directory tree is available for public examination at: http://www.cfcl.com/rdm/macruby/ YYYY.MMDD.HHMM/ tree for a given run 1_svn_co log for "svn co ..." 2_rake log for "rake" 3_rake_spec_ci log for "rake bench:ci" 4_rake_bench_ci log for "rake bench:ci" macruby-experimental/... working directory tree Notes assorted notes doit* the script llvm-trunk/...
