Following the status of BonSlack, an (unofficial) porting of Slackware Linux to ARM, DEC Alpha, HPPA, LoongArch, MIPS, OpenRISC, PowerPC, RISC-V, S/390x, SH4, SPARC64 architectures.
The build system is the same of slackware64's one, plus (few) patches to allow compilation for architectures different than x86. Where needed, the build script was upgraded to allow the use of external variable LIBDIRSUFFIX to determine where to place libraries (lib or lib64).
The "hard" porting challenge was qtwebengine inside qt5, since it is based on Chromium and the latter has only official support for x86, arm, aarch64 and mipsel (Android architectures...). The porting to ppc, ppc64, ppc64le, mips, mips64el, riscv64, s390x, and sparc64 was based on PowerPC and BigEndian porting, plus some additional patches where needed.

[4] | Glibc-2.33 (in -15.0) set abi default to gnuabi64 for mips64el, instead of 14.2's gnu abi. Rebuild from scratch required (binaries from 14.2 and -15.0 are not abi-compatible). |

[9] | z900 minimum CPU; z990 minimum CPU for Rust due to the usage of "lay" instruction (vendor/psm/src/arch/zseries_linux.s). |
[10] | LIBDIR for alpha is "lib" despite it is a 64 bits architecture, because 32 bits implementation does not exists and gcc/glibc by default are simply using "lib". |
[11] | BonSlack 14.99 is BonSlack 15.0 but with downgraded gcc (8.2.0) and glibc (2.28) to be compatible with existing older distribution, such Yocto for Toradex Colibri system-on-chip. |
[12] | Bug on libclang prevents to run sip_generator.py for KDE, do not provide sip files. |
[13] | Packages in 32bit portings in BonSlack-current (15.1) are [re-]compiled for Y2038 compliance (_TIME_BITS=64). Please note that some of these packages are NOT compatible with previous BonSlack versions due to different time_t size (32/64 bit) in structures and/or in APIs. |
[14] | The difference from the official Slackware is that BonSlack x86 tries to keep as much as possible Y2038 compliance (_TIME_BITS=64 for all [re-]compile packages). Please note that some of the packages from this porting are NOT compatible with official Slackware libraries (some official Slackware libraries still compiled with 32bit time_t that are not compatible with programs/libraries compiled with 64bit time_t). If you want to use a specific package/program from this porting, you also have to install all packages that include libraries with time_t exposed in their APIs. For example, htpasswd, htdigest, htdbm, and logresolve programs from httpd package are linked to libdb-4.8 from db48 package, so if you want to install httpd package from this porting you should also install db48 package from this porting and all other packages that are linked to libdb-4.8 (gnucobol, libical, libpinyin, moc, nvi, pam, perl, php, postfix, python2, rpm, ruby, serf, subversion). If you want to mix packages from the 2 portings, the suggestion is to mix only packages that are not dynamically linked to libraries that expose time_t in their APIs (such as gnupg and gnupg2). |
