cygwin-powerpc problems

["Alagu Sankar" <alagu at nettaxi dot com>]

Hi all,

 

I am using cygwin gnu tools on win nt 4.0 and trying to build a cross compiler for powerpc-eabi on win nt.  I downloaded the binutils and i am able to configure it and make it.

 

But after configuring the 'gcc' when i make it i am getting some errors. I went through the latest archives and i could not find any answer.  Let me explain in detail.

 

My gcc source is in /gcc-2.95.2 directory, newlib is in /newlib-1.8.2 directory and i want my final tools in /powerpc directory. I executed the following steps

 

bash$ mkdir /buildgcc

bash$ cd /buildgcc

bash$ /gcc-2.95.2/configure --target=ppc-eabi --prefix=/powerpc \
          --nfp --with-cpu=603e --with-gnu-as --with-gnu-ld --with-newlib \
         --with-headers=/newlib-1.8.2/newlib/libc/include -v

 

# Upto this point no problems

 

bash$ make cross install

 

After some 10 minutes of compilation i got the following errors

  echo ${name}; \
  /buildgcc/gcc/xgcc -B/buildgcc/gcc/ -B/powerpc/powerpc-eabi/bin/ -I/powerpc/po

  rm -f ${name}.o; \

Can anybody who has come across the same problem help me out?

 

with best regards,
