Description Duraid Madina

2003-08-14 04:18:54 EDT

All C source that I have encountered in eclipse, in my attempt to 'convert'
linux-gtk-x86 to linux-gtk-ia64, has compiled (with gcc) without error (or even
warning, for the most part).

However, I am not sufficiently familiar with the eclipse build process to 'port'
eclipse to ia64 completely. Moreover, the changes I have made so far total less
than 50 lines, and so probably aren't even worth contributing. Someone who knows
what they're doing could make these completely mechanical changes in just a few
minutes, I imagine.

I can assure anyone who tries to add support for linux-gtk-ia64 that it will be
straightforward enough. May I ask, then, that someone knowledgable enough to add
support for this platform do so? It should add <1% to the size of eclipse
distributions, and would bring a solid development platform to linux-on-itanium
users.
