Did you try this repo instead? IIRC PPC support should already be available and should not require that fork anymore.

[DeshmaneMangesh]

can you please describe it in detail

@mangeshPSL Replace https://github.com/andrewlow/node.git with https://github.com/nodejs/node.git

[DeshmaneMangesh]

ok so I should clone https://github.com/nodejs/node.git . and start from start

[DeshmaneMangesh]

guys I want to set branch for particular node how can I set it ? steps

[bnoordhuis]

@mangeshPSL You mean git checkout -b <branch> -t origin/<branch>? Note though that pull requests should normally be against master unless you're targeting v0.10 or v0.12.

[jbergstroem]

PPC support is very unlikely in v0.10/v.012.

[DeshmaneMangesh]

thanks @bnoordhuis and @jbergstroem , guys can u help for the nodejs link for the version v0.10.40 link of github .

[jbergstroem]

@mangeshPSL what are you asking for right now? If it's about git checkout @bnoordhuis showed you how to checkout a git specific branch from a specific repo. With that said, I don't think you should expect much success from 0.10 nor 0.12.

[DeshmaneMangesh]

@jbergstroem I want to update my nodejs version on powerpc which is currently v0.10.25 , which is expected to be v0.10.40 . so could you help me now

[bnoordhuis]

v0.10 doesn't support ppc64; you are probably using IBM's fork. I'm going to close the issue, it's not something we can help you with.

[mhdawson]

@mangeshPSL sorry I did not jump in earlier. I'm away on vacation for Christmas until Jan but I'll be happy to help you in an issue over on https://github.com/andrewlow/node provided that you are working with pre 4.x. If you just want to update versus compile you can get the latest 10.X version here: https://developer.ibm.com/node/sdk/#v11. (There are also links on related pages for 12.X and 4.X)

[DeshmaneMangesh]

thanks @mhdawson but it is sdk kit I am currently working on putty(SSH) through command line on ppc64le . If you can help me with binary of ppc64le of nodejs for v0.10.40 it would be good
