Misc work today
Get ActiveCard USB reader working on GNU/Linux (pcsc's CCID driver is not packed inside bundle in
SL10).
Added support for Persian (Farsi) to my build system.
Read some documentation and specs about
AltiVec/Velocity Engine in G4/G5 processors. Hmm,
the results of running
openssl speed on low end-Mac mini (building OpenOffice.org at
the same time) and my notebook are comparable (Mini is a bit faster even under load). I had to
upgrade. My notebook.
Found out that Mac OS X 10.4.3 has some problems when one service/program tries to connect to
firewall-ed remote port. The whole UI has been frozen for some time and I had to Force Quit it (the
rainbow baloon is hardware-implemented or what, it was still rotating ;-). I tried to connect to
wrong VNC display number on my iMac, my current build system (which is even slower than new
Mini...). I hope to finish my first (only manual for now) build on Mini tonight (hoping the disk
won't be full before the end).
Heiner solved my Solaris/SPARC issue
#i54319# so I can remove my hack
to skip
checkdll segmentation faults and report/ignore them.
