Re: .machine "altivec"


Hi Buday,

I'm using openembedded to create a powerpc executable on my x86 linux box. oe complains about

What was the configure command line that you used ?


| checking for .machine support... no
| configure: error:
| *** A binutils version which can handle
| ***    .machine "altivec"
| *** is needed.

I could not find this error messages in the sources anywhere. Are you using a customised version of the configure scripts by any chance ?


openembedded tried to use binutils-cross-2.15.94.0.1. What version should I use instead?

The 2.15.94 sources should support the .machine "altivec" directive. Have a look at the function parse_cpu() in gas/config/tc-pcc.c for confirmation of this.


Cheers
  Nick
