I tried to tell you a few times, but I'll rephrase. I have an iMac G5, rev C (with iSight built-in). That is a PowerPC64 architecture. - There is no native Mokomakefile support for this machine - I tried running VirtualPC to emulate an i386 processor so that I could install Ubuntu. This works, but is _terribly_ slow. Also, getting Ubuntu 8 on it is something I didn't try. But, building Mokomakefile took days to get to step 1500. - I eventually found out how to install Debian etch on my PC (natively), but running Mokomakefile's 'make build-devel-image' gave me an error 'don't know what to do with powerpc64 architecture'. - The toolchain explicitly states that it needs i386. I could build from source, but openmokoui-2.0-dev is also only available for i386. Well, that's about it :-) A simple Ubuntu- or Debian-machine 'out there' on the Internet with up-to-date bild env and the poosibility to scp files over would be ideal now :-) I hope this sums up the problems well enough.
