ReactOS PowerPC version please!

[dave]

When can we expect a PPC version and apps compiled for the PowerPC?

[Erlenmayr]

you may compile it yourself.

we want to create an os, which is able to run all applikations designed for windows. this software is always compiled für x86-prozessors, so there is no need in the first time.

I was thinking about this the other day... at the very least, it's an interesting idea. I don't own a Mac, but I used to. I wonder how much of the ReactOS code is CPU dependent, and how much trouble porting it would be. I'm sure it's not going to be a target for a while, but still might be something to think about.

ReactOS use HAL for this purposes. Only HAL is CPU dependent. I don't think we will have a lot of troubles with porting HAL.

Unfortunately, it's not as simple as that. HAL is supposed to take care of differences in the environment (like the differences between a normal PC and the Xbox), but the kernel itself is still processor dependend. For example, the kernel does the memory management (page tables and stuff), which I think is different between PPC and x86.
Arty has started on a PPC port. Just don't expect it to be ready tomorrow...
