Shameless plug: a few friends and myself ported the reference toolchain to Solaris (illumos). We hope to integrate this upstream now that Go 1.2 is released.

- justin66 13y agoHow'd you get past the split stack not working properly on SP... oh... I guess this means Illumos still isn't running on SPARC yet. ;) Nice work BTW.
- kaib 13y agoWhy wouldn't split stacks work on SPARC, is there something about the architecture that makes it impossible?
- Zariel 13y ago1.3 they are planning to have contiguous stacks
- 4ad 13y agoWhen I was involved with illumos development, it did run on SPARC. Don't know the status now. Not many people interested in keeping it alive, I guess. I'd love the technical challenge in bringing Go to SPARC, but writing a new compiler is significant work. Gccgo works on SPARC, in the meantime.
- pstuart 13y agoIs it Illumos specific or would it work on Solaris 10 as well?
- 4ad 13y agoIt is not illumos-specific, but currently it does not work on Solaris 10. It would be trivial to make it work on Solaris 8-10. The main reason I haven't fixed it is because I don't have any machine running Solaris 8-10. We need a builder that does continuous integration. If people are interested in these older systems, and if someone donates a builder, I can make Solaris 8-10 work as well.
- pstuart 13y agoWe can provide you with one. How much cpu/mem do you need? Would gcc 4.7.2 be ok? (I'd be grabbing any tools you needed from sunfreeware and that's the latest they have). My email is in my profile, so we could move the discussion there.
