[Scummvm-devel] About announcing backend changes & build machine

[John Willis]

Max,

If you get this off the ground it gets my vote. 

Assuming that any box is running some form of recent *nix then building the
GP2X port should be easy enough. 

I am happy to setup an appropriate tool chain to take care of that when
required. I can also help setup DevKitPro if you need a hand; I am pretty
familiar with what makes it tick as the project is lead by a friend of mine
and I have already set it up on a few build servers.

I'll also move the GP2X building notes out of the port README in SVN and
into the Wiki.

Regards,

John

Hi folks,

we have so many ports, yet so few porters. Whenever I or somebody  
make a change to the backends API, that often causes backends to  
break. Either the compilation breaks, or the functionality (in a  
sense, the latter is worse, because it can go unnoticed).

So, wouldn't it be cool if we had a build server on which we setup  
cross compile chains for as many systems as we can?
