I don't know if this made it through on Thursday; if not, here's a
repeat:
I saw it on the archive - sorry I didn't get a chance to respond on Friday. Thanks for the repeat, though - it saves me cutting and pasting from the browser. :-)
I'm afraid I won't be a lot of help right now, but I might be able to
offer
some moral support.
Well - at this point even moral support would be a good thing...
I've spent several weeks last year trying to get winelib working on HPUX, but I don't really have anything to show for
it.
Before I could get anything working, I had to abandon HPUX and work on fixing up Linux and Solaris stuff because it was in higher demand. I'll eventually need to get HPUX working also, but I won't be able to devote
too
much time to it for at least a month.
My timeline is probably tighter than that - I'm hoping to have winelib working within the next month... So you might be lucky. :-)
I was in the same situation as you are... very rusty at x86 assembly,
able
to comprehend a little sparc assembly, but I didn't know a thing about pa-risc. I was simply typing make, letting it run until it had some
error
because HPUX wasn't supported, coming up with some fix for it, and repeating. Some days I felt like I almost grasped what was going on and
how
to fix it, and some days it felt like it was miles away. I never got
all of
wine compiling, so I have no idea if any of the fixes I made were
correct or
not. I'd be happy to share them with you, but seeing them might do you
more
harm than good.
Yeah, if you wouldn't mind, send me the patches --- It may give me some useful ideas, at least.
Anyway, good luck, and if you weren't looking for an excuse to learn
pa-risc
assembly, well, you have my sympathies. I'm told it builds character
:-)
:-) then I guess my character is in for a bit of a work-out. <sigh>
Thanks,
Warren
