Moreover, remove USE_GCC=yes, so that this port does not block the
update of GCC default version to GCC 11 anymore. [1]

So, this is now built even when the SQLITE option (which is ON by default) is OFF? Similar for at least one other instance.

Hmm, are these really available on non-x86 platforms?

I see

.if ${ARCH:Mpowerpc*}
PLIST_SUB+=     PPC="" \
                X86="@comment "
.elif ${ARCH} == amd64 || ${ARCH} == i386
PLIST_SUB+=     PPC="@comment " \
                X86=""
.endif

in the Makefile, and pkg-plist uses %%X86%% and %%PPC%% in the current version of pkg-plist.

78–79

Not dependent on %%SQLITE%% any longer?

I am going to check, thanks.

Good point. Do you have any resource I can read to help me test the build on powerpc? I tried creating a poudriere jail for powerpc, but I got the error message

Error: You need to install the qemu-user-static package or setup an emulator with binmiscctl(8) for powerpc

And I got the same error message after having installed qemu-user-static.

I confirm that %%SQLITE%% is still needed and I have put it back.

I have also tried to guess how the %%X86%% and %%PPC%% machinery should work. I have tested it successfully on amd64 and i386, but it still needs testing on powerpc.

Ah, good.

For powerpc-specific issues, Piotr Kubaj <[e-mail]> has been very active on the ports side and may be able to help, and/or [e-mail].

@pkubaj, PowerPC: Could you please help testing this patch on powerpc? Do you have some documentation I can study so that I can learn how to do those tests?

ARM, arm64: I think that my patch might unbreak the port on aarch64, armv6 and armv7. It would be nice to test it on those architectures too, so I ask you too if you can help and suggest me some documentation.

Thanks.

[pkubaj]

I will test it on my own hardware.
If you want to do it on your own, there are two options:

• you can test a full VM with qemu-system (will be slow),
• or you can use native POWER hardware (bare-metal, VM, could be remote since there are providers that offer free POWER VM for open source developers).

AFAIK qemu-user doesn't support POWER, but qemu-system does.

Thank you very much @pkubaj, however @danfe (the port maintainer) asked me in https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=264364 to pause this review: we committed a patch to let the GCC default version update proceed, but he will deal with the port update later. So, I guess it might be wise to wait until he deals with the update before doing more testing.

Thank you very much also for the suggestions about how to test powerpc.
