Hi, My first question in Julia forum. I hope I’m using the correct category. I’m studying the port of Julia to AIX/PowerPC64. I’ve already searched for some information about: HowToPort, but I found nothing. Is there a place where information dealing with porting Julia to a new OperatingSystem is …

Doing a port to a new operating system is a non-trivial endeavor. You’re lucky in that libuv already supports it, so you don’t have to worry about the I/O system. The big other OS specific thing in Julia is task/signal handling, memory management for executable pages, unwind handling, as well as pot…

Yes, sure, porting Julia to a new OS is not an easy task. However, we already did that for several other languages, like golang recently, which was ported by a student (6 months as internship + 6 more months). So, we think we’ll be able to help the (future) student, as we did this year for Erlang. I…

[image] trex58: When do you expect to move to using LLVM v11 ? Work in progress: https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/pull/37842

Thanks for the news about LLVM v11 ! About libuv, yes, it builds on AIX. However, I see 14 test failures out of 388 tests. Investigating.

I’ve checked that, on Fedora/x86_64 and Fedora/PPC64LE, 100% of 389 tests are OK.

About libuv on AIX, since I’m new on this subject, I missed some information for configuring the system before testing. With this added configuration, only 1 test still fails on AIX and I guess it is due to some mis-configuration of IPv6. Thus, as a conclusion, libuv seems to work perfectly well on …
