Mark, I don't remember, but I think so maybe?
"me" should have some record..and I can try to look.
Sorry for the lack of information so far.

I know I had Python 2.x working, enough to run my build scripts.
I still haven't managed to port to Python 3.

The larger goal of modern gcc definitely didn't work out. 🙁
You can build old gcc, from native cc.
cmake was challenging.
Lots of stuff worked reasonably though. autoconf/automake really shown well imho.
git worked. Many things worked. Modula-3 worked. 🙂

These old systems are kinda fun. 🙂
I just wish they were a little easier to setup, and CI was run for the various projects.
I guess we should run Linux on these systems, NT, VMS, FreeBSD, etc. 🙂


  *   Jay

Subject: Re: Libffi on Tru64?


Hello Jay,

I was wondering if you ever managed to figure out the error when trying to build libffi with gcc on Tru64.
#error "osf.S out of sync with ffi.h”

I currently have libffi-3.1 installed.  I am trying to build Python 2.7.18 but many modules are failing to build and I am wondering if it might be because my libffi is too old… hence wanting to try a newer version.

Thanks!
