It ran on one computer, but consistently hung on boot on the other computer: I would see the colorful letters HAIKU, but no further. I was favorably impressed, especially when I started with low expectations. Tom

Also, it never worked reliably and stopped booting. I see now a new CD is out, I will try it when I have a boring evening. Right now I'd love some NetBSD bugs squeezed out :) Riccardo PS: Video on the Intel chipset was one of the main issues on my system (causing boot hangs and needing to disable it for VESA), a non usable touchpad did not help either

So I imagine it would be practically impossible to port Haiku display server to Linux or BSD. But I don't know everything, could possibly be wrong on this issue. Tom

Cross-compiling Haiku from NetBSD?

Did you ever attempt to cross-compile Haiku from NetBSD? I tried but never succeeded, apparently because Haiku build system makes assumptions about where certain files are located on host system. Some of these differ for NetBSD and even FreeBSD. I changed the subject so as not to be accused of thread hijacking. Anybody who is interested can respond on this list or on haiku-development list, if they are subscribed to that list, as I am. Tom
