seen more and more arm32 ebuilds that is depricated now on gentoo, so only arm64 left for raspberry pi's

same on other distros then gentoo ?

Hallo Benny!

same on other distros then gentoo ?

As far as I am aware there are a few that claim a working (flakey) arm64 based distributions. I tried the latest gentoo one but it froze up on the raspberry pi which is why I am sticking with the slackwarearm with the customized arm64 kernel. The rootfs is still 32 bit though. I used a crosscompiler to build the 64 bit kernel.

I am still working on getting a pure 64 bit enviroment working on the raspi3. How about you?

Is there not a "pure 64 bit" raspbian distribution specifically for the
RPi3?

Not that I am aware of. As far as I know about it raspbian is resisting 64 bit

development in order to keep the distribution compatible with all the raspberry

pi's up to and including the 3b+ which is the latest and greatest.

Interesting. I guess it sort of makes sense, although most distros
(including debian, which they source from) keep both a 32-bit and 64-bit version going.

version going.

Yes but both x86 and x86_64 are vastly more mature than any arm based linux distribution is concerned. Originally linux was a PC based and back then that meant i386 and i486. My first linux (slackware 3.something) was on a 486. Next came a bootable CD install to a pentium1 laptop that had a bootable CD-ROM
that I managed to hack as a marine GPS using the serial port which they were still supplying back then in laptops. No usb.

Speaking of raspberrypi-3+, I am currently having issues compiling glibc-2.28.
I've managed to pull it off in a crosscompiling enviroment but not on an actual native raspberrypi. In this build I am using armv7l-unknown-linux-gnueabihf (32 bit). I'll worry about 64 bit once I figure
out what I am doing wrong.

I don't know if it's a trend but Arch linux has dropped support for the 32bit architecture. They still support 32bit apps in a 64bit environment from what I understood.

I'm not sure of the reason, I don't have a 32bit box or an Arch install.

gentoo have disabled multilib on 64bit, so now end users need to recompile with

multilib on crosscompilers, if its first disabled, it need bootstrapping in 32bit again

its more complicated then disable it :)

Hallo Benny!

gentoo have disabled multilib on 64bit

What took them so long? I briefly had a multilib going when I first got my hands on a amd64 and went pure 64 bit after that on a quad core xeon. That was

around 15 years ago and the only distribution talking about pure 64 back then was fedora. The "Cross Linux From Scratch" people were the only ones I was aware of that did more than just talk about it.

As far as raspbian is concerned, there is a port called pi64 which is as close as it gets to an official raspbian. I haven't tried it myself as I have issues

with people who purposely degrade hardware all in the name of so-called compatibilty. The raspbian people are no better than what Bill Gates did way back in the early 1990's with 16-bit dos on 32 bit cpu's. It took MS a decade before finally getting rid of that lame idea and by that time the x86_64's were

rearing their ugly heads and ot took them another five-ish years to finally catch up.

Putting a 32 bit operating system on a 64 bit cpu is shameful and disgraceful methinks.

funtoo develoopers was still using gentoo :)

I briefly had a multilib going when I first
got my hands on a amd64 and went pure 64 bit after that on a quad core xeon.

i waited to see it disabled, at that time it took long to compile glibc when it

was updated :)

That was around 15 years ago and the only distribution talking
about pure 64 back then was fedora.

time fly, redhat 9 did something bad aswell, i lost intrest in redhat when it killed redhat free update support, asking users to just change to some other precompiled things would be like ask me to install cpm on x86 :)

The "Cross Linux From Scratch"
people were the only ones I was aware of that did more than just talk about it.

yes i remember some fun from that talks

As far as raspbian is concerned, there is a port called pi64 which is

you can say it more polite precompiled problems :)

agree

this is still what happens on all what is done in all the precompiled distros, i only know gentoo and freebsd not have this problems

is runCPM x86 an exempt to that ?

Hallo Benny!

Ah! That explains it nicely. :-)

at that time it took long to compile glibc when it was updated

It still does. Speaking of which I *finally* figured out what I was doing wrong and it wasn't glibc but the first stage gcc instead. It turns out I missed one header file's reconfiguration of ld to point to /tools/lib/ instead of /usr/lib/. I knew it would turn out to be something very simple. :::shaking my head:::

i lost intrest in redhat when it killed redhat free update
support

Myself I lost interest way back in 4.something-or-other when they were bragging

that they had no y2k issues. Turned out they were wrong as I found at least one app (gui scheduling thingy) that was obviously plagued. That was in 1996-ish if I remember correctly.

asking users to just change to some other precompiled things
would be like ask me to install cpm on x86 :)

Heh, heh.

you can say it more polite precompiled problems :)

I could but I didn't.

Now that the glibc issue has been dealt with I find myself waiting for the raspberry pi to finish the stage 2 compiler (gcc and g++) so I can use it to crosscompile a 64 bit kernel (v4.19.1) and see if that can properly get in sync

before taking on the stage 3 compile and call it native. If it works out then it will be the latest pure 64 bit build in the mix -> aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu.

What Program is used to Run Linux on a Commodore 64 PC?
This is the first time I've seen that mentioned.

Long ago I've used a Program that let me Enter a Apple ][ BASIC Program Listing(s), and then I could Run it(them) on my C=64 using a Apple Emulator
PRG file.

Maybe I could find that Linux Program on ZIMMERS website.

I'll have a look-see there but please let me know what You use, Benny.
Thanks.

sorry

What Program is used to Run Linux on a Commodore 64 PC?

will have to recover my memoroy more here, its indeed possible to make linux on
c64, but i lost now what is needed, or if it require the supercpu to make it work or not, it have 16MB of mem imho on the super cpu, but the arch is same as
a c64

This is the first time I've seen that mentioned.

google linux on 8bit could help find things on that

Long ago I've used a Program that let me Enter a Apple ][ BASIC
Program Listing(s), and then I could Run it(them) on my C=64 using a Apple

basic is a intrepreter to make basic common on any computer, sadly bill gates stopped using it

Maybe I could find that Linux Program on ZIMMERS website.

I'll have a look-see there but please let me know what You use, Benny. Thanks.

it was basicly a joke from me, but 8bit and linux is not a joke, same as digital camareras that have 8MPixel linces, and could still make VGA resolution

hope it wakes some intrests

on ide64.org you find nice hardware to have ethernet on a c64, so there is a limited tcp stack done there

will order one to me, since i like to do floppy to d64 converting here

i rember its possible to do irc from c64 aswell
