If you have an existing install that works on your ppc, check if your 
toolchain supports 64bit:

   $ vi test.c
     int main() {
         return 0;
     }
   $ gcc -m64 -o test test.c

If it compiles w/o complaining you should be able to build a kernel for 
powerpc64.

Your .config has to include:

CONFIG_PPC64=y
CONFIG_PPC=y

With this kernel built, install image and modules onto a usb stick, boot 
up and install arch and configure this kernel & modules for your 
preferred bootloader. Indepth knowledge about this procedure can be 
found all over the place I'm sure. ^^

Cheers,

-G

Hi everyone,

I managed to set up pacbuild on my server for building PPC packages,
so far I've only built a couple of them but it seems to work quite
well. pacbuild has become kind of outdated so I had to fix a bunch of
things, I'll see if I can send a patch to Jason later...

You should check out the git version.  It fixes a lot of problems on
the released version.  I haven't released it because there are still
more things I'd prefer it to do but I haven't had the inclination to
actually implement them.

Hey there,

I was actually using the git version from projects.archlinux.org. I've
attached the changes I've made so far, but it still complains about
not finding "kernel26" (in PPC it's called "kernel26-pmac"). However
that doesn't seem to cause any issues.

I might have changed things outside the git repository, so I'm not
sure that's all I did yet. I hope it was though.

Subject: [arch-ports] PPC: Ghostscript should be recompiled?
Message-ID: <48899925.9080102@slacky.it>

Hi,

(I'm an user of the PPC port of ArchLinux)

It seems that ghostscript should be recompiled. Infact,
the following dynamic libraries are missing on my sys-
tem:

# ldd /usr/bin/gs|grep 'not found'
	libkrb5.so.22 => not found
	libhx509.so.1 => not found

The installed version of these libraries is:

   /usr/lib/libkrb5.so.25.0.0
   /usr/lib/libhx509.so.3.0.0

Bye

And the installed ghostscript version is:
   extra/ghostscript 8.62-1
