Only for 64 bits so not working on my X5000 with Ubuntu 32bits :-)
AmigaOne X5000 -> 2GHz / 16GB RAM / Radeon RX 570 / Radeon X1950 / M-Audio 5.1 -> AmigaOS / Linux
Amiga 1200 -> Recapped / 68ec020 ACA 1221ec / CF HDD / RetroNET connected to the world

I used the 32-bit binary from wicknix. It works on my X5000 but not my G5.

Wicknix will compile the 32-bit version.

Hi All,

I am compiling a 32-bit Linux PowerPC version of Arctic Fox 27.9.15 in a virtual 32-bit QEMU PowerPC machine (QEMU with KVM-PR support) with Lubuntu 14.04 LTS. It takes a very long time despite KVM-PR acceleration. But I can’t promise that I am successful. If I was successful then it will support older Linux distributions like Ubuntu 14.04.

Have you ever tried to set up a chroot with a 32-bit kernel? I wonder if that would work to compile a 32-bit binary faster...

Hi Casey,

It isn’t possible to use an extra 32-bit kernel inside the chroot. The chroot uses the kernel from the host system.

Further information: ubuntu MATE 15.10 PowerPC in a chroot on Lubuntu 12.04.5 PowerPC

BTW, the compiling of the 32-bit Arctic Fox wasn’t successful in the virtual 32-bit PowerPC machine.

Cheers,
Christian

Hi All,

There wasn't enough space available for compiling Arctic Fox on the QEMU HD img. I added a new big img for Arctic Fox and moved all virtual machine files to my PC (i7 4.5GHz). The compiling is faster in the virtual PowerMac G4 machine on my PC.

Cheers,

Successful! :-) A 32-bit Non-AltiVec version of Arctic Fox 27.9.15 for old Linux distributions like Lubuntu 14.04 LTS PowerPC:
