Icebooks

[Mark Brown]

Before I go and do something stupid, does any one have any particular
(dis)recommendations about using the newer iBooks with Debian? Looking
at the spec and grovelling around on the web it seems they do reasonably
well.

Hmm, go figure, I had it compiled in as a mod, but never bothered to look in
the macintoshdevices directory....always in just char. I seem to have a blind
spot to the word macintosh =). Too much time on Sun and x86. Loaded it and it
works great. Thanks for the help on that.

Ok, got the source files.....but compiling them to modules is something I
don't have experience with....compiling raw .c files that is. If you have
time, can you send me some guidlines? please? I should have figured it
wouldn't be so easy as "gcc -o tumbler.o tumbler.c" ;-).

Thanks you again for the info and help and your time.

No problems.

I used:

gcc -D__KERNEL__ -I/usr/src/linux-2.4-benh/include -Wall
-Wstrict-prototypes -Wno-trigraphs -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer
-fno-strict-aliasing -D__powerpc__ -fsigned-char -msoft-float -pipe
-ffixed-r2 -Wno-uninitialized -mmultiple -mstring -DMODULE -DMODVERSIONS
-include /usr/src/linux-2.4-benh/include/linux/modversions.h -c -o
tumbler.o tumbler.c

Cheers.

I've got Debian Sid ppc running on it. Everything (except of sound)
works just awesome. power management, KDE 2.2, 2.4.7-benh kernel, X 4.1.0,
webcam, ooffice, and so on...

Sound: There's a hack which is supposed to work:
