systems, but the code that take care of them is inly implemented
on Linux. This made the build go into an infinite loop on NetBSD.
Disable floating point exceptions on NetBSD/amd64 for now, until
I get around implementing and testing the necessary sigaction glue.
been updated in more than two years.)
- Add a buildlink3.mk file.
- Make the Java dependency optional, and disable this option by default (this
will make erlang build in more bulk builds).
Ok by wiz.
This version is focused on improved performance and stability,
rather than introducing new functionality, hence it is called R9C.
Build Process NEW
The build process has been improved so that it is possible to build
Erlang/OTP from source even on Windows platforms. There is also a
completely new installation program for Windows.
Observer
crashdump_viewer NEW
A HTML based tool for browsing Erlang crashdumps. The tool can handle
crashdumps from OTP R7B, R8B and R9B as well but there is additional
information in the crashdumps for R9C.
OTP_MIBs NEW
The OTP mibs that where included in the SASL application have been
moved to this new application otp_mibs. This is a step too create a
pure core for Erlang/OTP that does not depend on specific,
non-mainstream applications such as SNMP.
Erlang is a programming language which has many features more commonly
associated with an operating system than with a programming language:
concurrent processes, scheduling, memory management, distribution,
networking, etc.
The initial open-source Erlang release contains the implementation of
Erlang, as well as a large part of Ericsson's middleware for building
distributed high-availability systems.
