hello,
i created a small patch for the include/IceUtil/Config.h and the src/icecpp/config.h include files to make Ice compile (and at least partly run) on
Debian/powerpc/sid Linux (a G4 450MHz)
and on
Debian/alpha/sid Linux (a Digital AlphaPC 164SX 533 MHz)
(the changes are mainly due to the architecture (alpha = 64bit little endian, ppc = 32bit big endian) and due to the fact that the preprocessor symbol for 'powerpc' is not only "__ppc__" but on some linux distributions "__powerpc__" or "powerpc" or on 64bit powerpc architectures "powerpc64"
the patch consists of separate patch files in context diff format for the two header files
unfortunately the tests were not completely satisfying:
the ppc had the following error:
Code:
...
*** running tests in ./test/Freeze/evictor
starting server... ok
starting client... ok
testing Freeze Evictor... ok
*** running tests in ./test/IceStorm/single
starting icestorm service... failed!
test in ./test/IceStorm/single failed with exit status 256
the alpha had the following error:
Code:
...

test in ./test/Ice/exceptions failed with exit status 256
is there a possibility to get a better error reporting from these tests?
thanks for reading up to this point ;-)
