Re: MintPPC

So 64bit works on x1000 but not x5000 then?

Re: MintPPC

OK, done some minimal testing with Neovim and as I suspected a lot of the plugins die on install. This is down to a lack of node.js and npm. Rather than try to descend down that rabbit hole (from a quick google search it looks like Node.js involves assembler) I intend to start my config again and ...

Re: MintPPC

@mintppc thank you very much for your efforts on this. I just gave it a quick test and Neovim does indeed install and appears to run.

I will dig into it later but I believe I've hit a permanent roadblock when it comes to my config however, which doesn't surprise me in the slightest! When I copy my ...

Re: MintPPC

Don’t invest too much time and effort on my part. I can get by with other options and I don’t spend a massive amount of time in Linux on my PPC machines. I can always cross compile or just do most work on Mac and then just compile / test on ppc. The keybinds drive me insane on Linux, whatever the ...

Re: MintPPC

Well that would be my preferred option. I’d have to see how I get on with the plugin ecosystem but neovim itself would definitely get my vote as it’s one of the tools I use all day long in my job and a bit of a go to for me.

Re: MintPPC

Possibly, but my config requires NeoVim 10+ It wouldn't hurt me to learn how to do it properly instead of using a predefined config however!.

So if it's quick and easy to add then please do, else your time is better spent elsewhere :D

I tried Geany, that seems to support rust out of the box, but ...

Re: MintPPC

Thanks. I’ll try some of these. To answer the initial question, on my desktop (Mac) I usually use any number of the Jetbrains IDEs (pycharm, rust rover, clion) but they’re not an option. Aside from that I use neovim, more specifically astronvim. The problem there is it needs 10+ and a whole load of ...

Re: MintPPC

What do you guys use for working on code in MintPPC, if anything? I'm referring to editors. I haven't found anything I can install yet. I thought I'd just go with NeoVIM but it won't install (dependency issues), there's no VSCode (not that that's my preference anyway) and I'm not really sure what ...

Re: Mesa downgrade issue

Are the source packages and build parameters used to build the sources available anywhere (general question)?

I built the mesa stuff last night from the master branch as I think looking at some of the bug reports that at least one factor contributing to us needing to hold it back may have been ...

Re: Mesa downgrade issue

It's been brought to my attention that YouTube videos don't display in the correct colours either so my suspicion is it's not SDL2, or my code that has the problem.
