IBM donated a quad-proc PPC for Inkscape testing. I've finally overcome the weird console problems it was having, and got Ubuntu Dapper installed on it. Bryce and I are going to get Crucible running on it shortly, but until then (and after), anyone who's interested in getting an account on it, please email me your SSH pub key and desired account name.
Doing "make -j6" it took about 3min40sec to do a full recompile. :)

Cool. What's working? Can QEMU do reasonable x86 builds also? I'm guessing this is a G5 (64-bit)?

I'd not want to use QEMU for builds. On my dual G5 it was like using a slow Win95 box.
However, mingw works well natively on PPC OS X to cross-compile Windows binaries.

Sorry, I wasn't thinking as much for builds. Generally a cross compiler works better. But, running the test suite will require some sort of processor emulation. It'd be nice if we could run the tests on various architectures (different bugs).

Yes. Q (a wrapping of QEMU) is what I use to debug Win95 on an OS X box.

Yeah, 64bit quad G5. It's running Ubuntu Edgy now. I use it for testing PPC builds of random Ubuntu stuff now.
Once Bryce has a spare weekend, we'll get Crucible running on it.

Speaking of which... set me up an account. :-)
I'll try to set aside some time this weekend to setting it up. Have you had a chance to upgrade Sherborne?
Thanks, Bryce
