qoriq arch isn't supported by node.js ??? #8772

My nas (Synology DS-213+) runs a linux version on qoriq architecture (powerpc). I've heard that node.js isn't supported on the qoriq architecture, are there future plans to support this architecture?? Or can someone compile this? (toolchains etc are available at sourceforge) Unfortianaly i'm completly new to this.

V8, the engine behind node, does not natively support PPC-derived architectures. Per @andrewlow's V8/Node PPC port there does not appear to be an easy way forward for the Freescale chips. You can check over there for help on getting it to run, as they appear to be the only folks in the game of PPC support.

At the moment, Node.js cannot support a platform that is not supported by Google's V8. @sixlettervariables mentioned some useful resources to understand what's happening regarding the PowerPC port, I hope it's helpful. Closing it for now, but please feel free to let us know if that doesn't answer your question.

Thank you!
