Hello,
I just tried to install the minimals on:
uname -a Linux perthite 2.6.30-gentoo-r5 #6 SMP Wed Jan 13 17:59:36 NST 2010 ppc64 PPC970FX, altivec supported PowerMac7,3 GNU/Linux
but got:
sh ./first-setup.sh Error: your system "Linux ppc64" is not supported yet. Please report to the ConTeXt mailing-list (ntg-context@ntg.nl)
The machine reports as ppc64 but it is running a 64 bit kernel with 32 bit userland.
I'd like to know how to proceed. If necessary I am quite willing to build the minimals on this platform and contribute the binaries back to the wiki.
Cheers, Roger
Oops, I thought we had fixed that... Anyways: the easiest solution is to open first-setup.sh in an editor. line 28 has ppc) platform="linux-ppc" ;; you can either change that to ppc64) platform="linux-ppc" ;; or add such a new line after it. The minimals should work on your system (they do work on my ppc64 box). Good luck Thomas
