What do you mean by "3D accel isn't nearly good enough"? On which macppc did you try to run supertuxkart? Are you talking about the popup saying that the OpenGL driver is too old and should be upgraded? If that's the case don't you think it's simply a matter of upgrading Mesa? Or does (the embedded version of) Irrlicht requires a "modern" graphic card? Note that 3D acceleration on macppc is slower than it could be ATM because we're not using the AGP GART. > > Hmm I am not sure I like this -- the above is true for a lot of other ports > > as well. > > There is ongoing work on 3D and macppc and it's nice to have things we can > > test. > > Besides being slow, is there any actual breakage? > > Fwiw supertuxkart packaged in current macppc bulk. It also runs badly. There's some truth in what Pascal says. But I believe that with a some efforts invested in the graphic stack it should be possible to run it correctly. Sadly disabling the port prevent people to figure that out. Now if you guys are interested in reducing the bulk time for macppc and sparc64 may I suggest to not build Irrlicht twice?
