[9fans] Plan 9 Related Work

[Jani Lahtinen]

I haven't written much here but I have been playing with Plan 9, Plan 9
Port, and Inferno for quite some time now, In the current economic times I
feel I should not leave a stone unturned. I am looking for work, either
parttime or permanent, hopefully related to Plan 9, as I have developed
some affinity to good design related to it. I do not want to include my CV
here but I can gladly provide one. As an EU national that area is the most
convenient but I can relocate if needed.

Hello,
please, if you wish, take a look at my old thesis, we can apply for a grant
to get it online, polished, hopefully in "Go" language golang.org running
on plan9 native
http://www.gli.cas.cz/home/cejchan/model/probab-model.pdf [ps]
however, I have no funding at present time, sorry,

best,
Peter.

Dear Peter,

Based on your other publications it sounds interesting but I fail to open
the link provided. Says 404.

Yours,

Jani Lahtinen

This days probably your best chance is to work with Go (designed by
some of the creators of Plan 9 now at Google), there are quite a few
organizations using it already in production and some are hiring:

which is the current distribution of 9go: by ron at golang.org, or at
contrib/lucio?
I have written some go code on linux and i want to move it under 9
thanks, regards, ++pac

[ron minnich]

use either one. Let us know how it goes :-)

your best bet is to cross-compile on Linux. set GOOS to plan9 and GOARCH to 386.

That's a nice idea, but I haven't had much joy in the last few days
trying that. I haven't tried a tagged release, though, only "tip".

okay, I'll try all three possibilities, however, how to extract files from
lucio's go.ext? I see that it is plain text... thanks, ++pac

sorry, I never tried cross-compiling. I started here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cross_compiler#GCC_and_cross_compilation, and
http://www.cis.upenn.edu/~milom/cross-compile.html

what should be switch --target=some-target set to?

Much easier than with GCC:

$ export GOOS=plan9
$ export GOARCH=386
$ 8g -o _go_.8 mod-1.go mod-2.go ...
$ 8l -o 8.out _go_.8

But you do need the runtime and packages compiled for Plan 9
($GOROOT/pkg/plan9_386/* is where they will live). That is what I
find harder to generate from the HG tip.

++L

[andrey mirtchovski]

$ cd go/src
$ hg sync > /dev/null 2>&1 # places you at tip
$ export GOOS=plan9
$ export GOARCH=386
$ ./make.bash > /dev/null
conflicts: 3 shift/reduce
$ cat > /tmp/t.go
package main
func main() { println("hello"); }
$ cd /tmp
$ 8g t.go
$ 8l t.8
$ file 8.out
8.out: Plan 9 executable, Intel 386
$

you may still encounter issues. untested :)

$ ./make.bash > /dev/null
make: *** [executable.o] Error 1
make: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....

do i need to merge rminnich-9go with go.googlecode.com/hg/ go???

thanks, peter

[andrey mirtchovski]

my instructions are for a pure go tree (a clone from googlecode
without any modifications). the redirection to /dev/null is to save
some email space, you don't need to have it in your tests.

[Peter A. Cejchan]

bash: ./make.bash: No such file or directory
I guess I should merge rminnich-9go with go.googlecode.com/hg/ go ??

thanks, ++pac

[andrey mirtchovski]

also, i'm cross-compiling go for plan9 on linux/osx. i apologize, we
shouldn't have gotten out of sync so quickly.

You'll need some handholding if you try my distribution, it is not as
slick as Ron's, and right now I'd like to concentrate on my immediate
Internet access problems rather than fix the (somewhat scrappy) Go
distribution.

That said, (a) I do have a better lump of Go source code that could be
made to work with a bit of hand holding and (b) I presume that the
source I'm using is only one or two days old, which may or may not be
an improvement over Ron's release.

So, you choose. I can assist over Skipe, if it helps any.

disk/mkfs, see the man page (man mkext). But I'd rather hand you a
fresher release, if you can be patient. Right now I need a new web
proxy as the transparent one my ISP supplies can't reach Google
(sigh!).

[Peter A. Cejchan]

Or, you can use http://www.uschovna.cz if it is not over 200MiB

Can you share it over ftp or http? thanks, happy advent, Peter.
