Any suggestion how to compile it on sparc64

Significant rewrite would be required to port Bitcoin to any big-endian architecture.

but I successfully build yacoin daemon on sparc architecture

but I successfully build yacoin daemon on sparc architecture

and ran it successfully?

I think picocoin which is for bitcoin is supposed to be endian dependence free.

Yeah, "it compiles" and "it works" are two different things. Bitcoin gives even a third opportunity "it runs, but forms a separate network and blockchain than the little-endian version".

Anyway, here's the link to the only publicly-known code that is endian-neutral:

Thats a bit of an exaggeration. Luke has a branch which is almost but not quite there.  Just about everything gets marshaled through serialization but some work is required to get all the details right. No one competent and productive working on the codebase considers it a major priority.

Unfortunately I need bitcoind because I must install p2pool on this machine, I check it and it's only one error which prevent compile . I'm trying to correct atomic_pointer with sparcv9, it compiles but when I run it, it shows error on Leveldb, maybe someone can look on this to correct this thing
