   Did you know that #NetBSD #m68k can compile itself from scratch?

   How long would you imagine it might take to compile NetBSD 10 from source on real m68k hardware? Earlier this year I wanted to find out, so I set up a Macintosh to try it.

   The toolchain, OS and installation sets started on 16-March and finished on 10-May:

   build.sh started: Sat Mar 16 17:04:20 UTC 2024 build.sh ended: Fri May 10 00:35:54 UTC 2024 4692724.22 real 3810544.56 user 700310.18 sys

   That’s 1303 and a half hours, or almost eight weeks, or 54 days.

   Installing the OS using build.sh took another four hours (4:08:39).

   The kernel took another almost 21 hours (20:55).

   That’s a lot of time, but it worked without issues, and the system runs happily!

   Chapter 33. Crosscompiling NetBSD with build.sh
   https://www.netbsd.org/docs/guide/en/chap-build.html

   I just cross compiled a #NetBSD #aarch64 kernel on my amd64 running #Fedora.
   Build.sh is *nice*.
