I probably wasn't clear. *OSX on PowerPC* will need changes.

Not only will you encounter compile issues because the V8 PPC code is targeted at Linux (on Power), you'll likely have additional woes getting the Node.js code itself to compile. Personally I like old hardware and like to see it kept as current as software will permit - however, to return to the origin of this thread - it is now possible to run Node.js on PowerLinux. If you've got PowerPC hardware that's running Linux, there is a good chance you can get Node.js going now. -- -- Job Board: http://jobs.nodejs.org/ Posting guidelines: https://github.com/joyent/node/wiki/Mailing-List-Posting-Guidelines You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "nodejs" group.
