We only have test / dev hardware that is more 'current' - but our goal is to be as inclusive as possible. I personally like old hardware and get a kick out of making it do useful stuff.
I suspect that you might be hitting a similar issue as the one logged here. https://github.com/andrewlow/v8ppc/issues/93 I'm still chipping away at that problem, but the hardware is remote and very slow. A G4 PowerMac I might be able to scare up locally - so I'll add that to the list of things to try. If you were enthusiastic and wanted to contribute, open a new issue on GitHub specific to your hardware/OS combination and I'll try to help with suggestions but you'll have to get your hands dirty with gdb etc. On Sunday, October 13, 2013 3:47:03 AM UTC-4, Carlos Arija wrote: > > I thought so. > I just wanted to know if anyone had made it work in that hardware. > Thank you. > > El sábado, 12 de octubre de 2013 16:58:30 UTC+2, lpsantil escribió: >> >> This seems to be for much newer PPC boxes. >> >> On Fri, Oct 11, 2013 at 5:00 PM, Carlos Arija <[email protected]> wrote: >> > I gave them a try in an old G4 iBook running Debian, and all I got was >> an >> > "Illegal instruction" message >> > Same result compiling the source files. >> > ¿Any idea? >> > >> > >> > El martes, 3 de septiembre de 2013 21:53:06 UTC+2, Andrew Low escribió: >> >> >> >> If you're G4 Powerbook is running Linux - I think you _are_ the target >> >> market :) >> >> >> >> If your question was about getting a version running under OSX (on >> >> PowerPC) that may require a bunch of code changes.
