For the fun of it, I tried emerging erlang. It emerged, but I don't know enough about erlang to see if it's working properly. Hello world and the like seem to work.

a good test would be to emerge erlang-10.2.5 and wings ... if wings emerges/runs, that's a pretty good test (requires X btw)
Wings-0.98.29b, esdl-0.94.0125 and erlang-10.2.5 all seem to emerge cleanly, however when I start wings, it immediately segfaults. Since the wings startup script calls erl, I suspect something is wrong with erlang.
wings seems to need OpenGL which I don't have on the alpha's since I connect trough ssh+vnc; but wings doesn't segfault. Some silly tests say erlang is working fine; I also merged ejabberd (it is written in erlang) and seems to work fine. If any of you have an OpenGL-enabled alpha and could re-test wings it will be much appreciated; I used the following versions: ---8<--- [ebuild R ] media-gfx/wings-0.98.29b 0 kB [ebuild R ] dev-lang/erlang-10.2.7 +X -doc -emacs (-java) -odbc +ssl 0 kB [ebuild R ] media-libs/esdl-0.95.0630 0 kB ---8<--- I think erlang is ready to go ~alpha; but I'd like someone to test wings to be on the safe side. Cheers, Ferdy
Created attachment 73280 [details] Screenshot of Wings on my Alpha After emerging the versions from the previous comment with the java keyword disabled, wings starts up just fine and seems to work ok.
I marked the three of them ~alpha. Thanks a lot for testing Mike. Cheers, Ferdy
