One issue: the port is extracting your g2strap-2.2.7-32be.tgz twice,
in both WRKDIR and WRKSRC. If you can fix that (maybe with
EXTRACT_ONLY), the diff will be ok gkoehler@
You don't bump REVISION, and I don't see a reason to bump.
We're building the same guile2, but building faster.
There is still no 64-bit-big-endian bootstrap, so powerpc64 (and
probably mips64 and sparc64) still go the slow way. I have not tried
to make a 64-bit-big-endian bootstrap. My build times for guile2 are
about
5 h 45 m on macppc Cube G4 (450 MHz) with your g2strap
4 h 50 m on powerpc64 (2700 to 3800 MHz)
I have avoided building guile2 for a long time, because the build was
too slow. Now that we have a bootstrap, I ran "make test". 2 tests
fail on all archs because OpenBSD's getrlimit(2) doesn't have
RLIMIT_AS, but macppc has a 3rd failure in the ffi (foreign function
interface to call C from Guile):
bad return from expression `(f-s64-)': expected -2000000000; got -873842568
bad return from expression `(f-u64-)': expected 4000000000; got 3421124728
bad return from expression `(f-s64-u8 10)': expected -1999999990; got
-4294967294
...
FAIL: test-ffi
guile2 uses devel/libffi so this might be some libffi problem. I have
not yet studied issue; I know that lang/ruby uses libffi and wonder if
I can reproduce the problem by writing ruby code.
