Title: RE: problem with crosscompiler for powerpc

Uwe,

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. 

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.

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.

You'll have to put the sources here:

~/src/gcc        <-  gcc-core-3.1.tar.bz2
~/src/binutils   <-  binutils-2.12.1.tar.bz2
~/src/newlib     <-  newlib-1.10.0.tar.gz
~/src/gdb        <-  gdb-5.2.tar.bz2

Sorry about the hardwired parameters.  I'm not advanced enough in my script writing to make it all automatic.

I hope you find this useful.

Best regards
