<TITLE>RE: problem with crosscompiler for powerpc</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>Uwe,</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>I put together these scripts to build mcore-elf tools under Cygwin, but I have found that if you change the TARGET parameter to powerpc-eabi (and modify the PREFIX if you want) it builds binutils, newlib, a C-compiler and gdb for the powerpc. </FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>I'll be interested to know if anyone has any success with these powerpc tools. I haven't had a chance to test them yet, because I'm just finishing up a gdb stub for mcore-elf. Next in line will be a gdb stub for the MPC555/56x.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>I found out today that the scripts also work on Linux (Mandrake 8.2, if that matters) and they run a LOT faster than Cygwin.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>You'll have to put the sources here:</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>~/src/gcc <- gcc-core-3.1.tar.bz2</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>~/src/binutils <- binutils-2.12.1.tar.bz2</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>~/src/newlib <- newlib-1.10.0.tar.gz</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>~/src/gdb <- gdb-5.2.tar.bz2</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>Sorry about the hardwired parameters. I'm not advanced enough in my script writing to make it all automatic.</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>I hope you find this useful.</FONT>
</P>
