Eventhough Sony delivers DJGPP with its Playstation Dev Kit, they still do not freely distribute the programming manual for the Playstation. Your Yaroze comes with only a subset of the full documentation and only a fraction of the libraries. Since this information is closed, I find it hard to believe the Sony configuration option of GCC is for the PSX. Rather, I believe there was a MIPS based Sony workstation a long time ago. BUT I would kill to have the the full PSX documentation myself. Someone must have it that is willing to share it despite of the foul licensing requirements of Sony. I am not about to shell out > $10K for hobbyist purposes. BTW how did they produce the PSX emulators? No, I do not believe in reverse engineering in this case. Anyone? [Even the Yaroze docs are better than nothing...] Question 2: The Playstation II apparently use a 128 bit MIPS. I am not aware of any 128 bit MIPS at this time, thus I suppose there neither can be any GCC support for it yet. Is this the reason Metrowerks is listed as third party SW supplier for PSX II? Question 3: The '--with-package=...' GCC configuration option appears to be equivalent with the '-m...' GCC command line option. I have not had the time to crosscheck the specs file vs. multiple installations - sooo, is this observation correct or not? (I attempted to use this option to set the m68k xgcc default to plain 68000 instead of the usual default of 68020. But I have not yet used this compiler yet to see what object sizes it produces.) ****************************************************** Never ever underestimate the power of human stupidity. -Robert Anson Heinlein GeirFRS@invalid.and.so.forth ****************************************************** _______________________________________________ New CrossGCC FAQ: http://www.objsw.com/CrossGCC _______________________________________________ To remove yourself from the crossgcc list, send mail to crossgcc-request@cygnus.com with the text 'unsubscribe' (without the quotes) in the body of the message.
