Spent the entire day building a modern *nix ecosystem for the 12" 1.5GHz #PowerbookG4 with the new #SSD drive.
#MacPorts is such a great tool and community with archives for atleast some prebuilt packages.
Thanks!In total 266 packages installed today. Not done yet though but managed to get the essentials including:
- bash 5.3.9_0
- gcc14 14.3.0_0
- openssh 10.3p1_0
- openssl3 3.6.1_0
- python314 3.14.5_0
- zsh 5.9_3#VintageMac #PowerPC #Macintosh #Retrocomputing #PPC #Apple #OSX

Because the 12" Powerbooks uses Nvidia GPU they are a bit more complicated than the 15" and 17" with ATI/AMD. But it can be done. During the 6 years it was my main computer back in the days it was popular to run OpenBSD on them.
Though I plan to use #macports to compile/install a modern *nix ecosystem onto #OSX 10.5 Leopard. WIth a modern GCC, OpenSSL, OpenSSH, Rust, Python etc.
There's a modern browser #Powerfox that works great.

Since #MacPorts does not have the latest #HackRF drivers, I took the plunge and compiled them myself to update the firmware on my new HackRF Pro. Works great. Awesome work, @mossmann and @GreatScottGadgets!

- said Mac is now back on #MacPorts after several years messing with Nix
- I’m typing this on an iPad after giving up on Android tablets -
