| |
Hello everyone,
I'm not sure this is right forum to ask (due to high volume) but I don't know about any other that fits better. Is there any interest in making macOS a first-class host to build linux kernel?
I'm quite sure [1][2] (a lot of similar posts can be easily googled) there's a demand to build Linux kernel on macOS and QEMU is available to provide executable environment for Linux on any virtual (via TCG) or in some cases hardware-accelerated platform of interest.
Back in 2018 I managed to build x86_64 Linux kernel on macOS with crosstool-ng altough a some patching was required for elfutils to compile the kernel with CONFIG_UNWINDER_ORC=y.
If one sends patches that helps to build Linux on macOS hosts are they going to be considered at all?
