* The needed LLVM libraries are now within
the Mesa optional build package.
* The swpipe renderer needs some work still
and will likey change, swrast is fully
functional.
* at least for gcc2, we used to leave the 'os' subfolder in there,
which may have caused problems when Haiku's headers have changed
since the last time the compiler was built.
* After examining MacOS toolbox roms, I think i've got
this nailed down. The MacOS Toolbox rom contains chrp
code at the top and binary code at the bottom.
* The Raw format for the chrp seemed to cause issues with the
OpenFirmware boot process on some systems. NetBSD uses a '-'
file type.
* The format of the chrp seems a lot more sensitive across machines
than described. Ensure our returns and spaces are even.
* Booting with the 'c' key is still working on my older OpenFirmware
machine with the chrp script. The bitmap logo is a half black, half
white box.
* I removed the &device; alias for now for troubleshooing. It also may
of been causing compatibility issues. More testing is needed.
* It seems like not all NewWorld OpenFirmware
versions support booting from CHRP scripts.
* Move Haiku elf bootloader into bootloader.b
type tbxi. As it is in the blessed directory
it is picked up by cd:,\\:tbxi
* Adjust bootinfo.txt to point to bootloader
&device; ensures that the image can be started
regardless of source media
* Adjust bootinfo.txt to use \\ as base. \\ is an
alias for the blessed folder on the boot media
* Rename ofboot.b to ofboot.chrp to avoid confusion
* Add .txt, .html to hfs.map to identify them properly
* The haiku-boot-cd-ppc.iso now boots on my G3 PowerBook
by holding the 'c' key at startup. The boot menu colors
are incorrect (white background) but it is a step in
the right direction.
* New chrp script. Blank icon for the moment, if someone
could figure out how to make a chrp icon that would be
neat.
* Tested working on qemu and real hardware. Need to test
on a more modern PowerPC Mac however.
* Switch bash, debugger, less, telnet[d] and top apps to use termcap
functionality provided by ncurses lib instead of GNU libtermcap.so;
* NetBSD version of tput utility replaced with ncurses' one. Fixes#9606;
* terminfo database is provided as mandatory package installed during
building target system;
* Remove libtermcap module. The termcap database source and
corresponding build rules are not removed to provide backward compatibility -
until all optional packages will be rebuild on upcoming system version
using terminfo. Note that gcc2 builds may require to provide termcap a bit
longer in the sake of binary compatibility with R5 era apps.
* add vesa.accelerant, vesa driver, ps2, isa, bios, generic_x86 for x86_64 too
* only have reiserfs, firewire, agp_gart targets for x86
* reverted hrev43950, liblocale alias shouldn't be needed anymore
Apparently it isn't ready yet. I haven't found a single syslog on Trac
that shows a successful initialization of the driver, and on my
machine, where it does that at least, the system freezes during boot.
* libsupc++ wasn't required, the build failed on x86_64.
* PPL: --disable-maintainer-mode configure option seems not enough to avoid an autoconf launch.
Solved by redefined AUTOCONF AUTOHEADER ACLOCAL AUTOMAKE variables to the noop command "true".
* PPL: make could run autoconf in certain conditions, thus generating artefacts
in the source tree. Added --disable-maintainer-mode when launching
configure to avoid this situation.
* cleanup: there are no info files in CLooG and PPL.
* Updated to version 2.0 of vendor code.
* Reliability improvements in controlling the underlying devices.
* Implement leaving networks.
* Better timeout handling.
* Usability enhancements like cancel on escape, ok button being the
default and the password field having focus on start.
* Storing of the password using BKeyStore.
It's sufficient to simply check if the gcc version is 4 or higher since
we enforce the use of the latest ported compiler for the build anyways,
and these multi-level checks would fail in their current state if gcc
moved to e.g. version 5.0.
