RE: powerpc target

["Scott Howard" <scotth at estc dot com>]

The powerpc-eabi target is intended for embedded PowerPC's only. In
addition, the build-cross.sh and one-tree scripts are really aimed at
embedded systems only; they rely on newlib which is not used on any Linux as
far as I know.

I don't know the configuration name used to build the PowerPC BSD kernel,
but I'm pretty sure it's not the same.

Nevertheless, I'm not sure why the build failed the way it did. I'm trying
it myself right now and if/when I find the problem I'll report back to the
list.

What directory were you in when you ran the 'build-cross.sh' script?

Subject: powerpc target


I'm trying to build a Powerpc cross-compiler on OpenBSD 2.5  -i386
I got gcc-2.95.2, newlib-1.8.2  and binutils-2.9.1 and ran one-tree script
which built me a src directory
Now I'm trying to run build-cross.sh script - it kicks off the build and
looks like builds binutils successfully but then fails in gcc with the
following:

Testing libgcc1.  Ignore linker warning messages.

*** Error code 1

Stop in /usr/buildtools/b-powerpc-eabi/gcc.
*** Error code 1

Couple of questions:
- First , what is it not happy about ? What do I do to correct the error?
-I'm  running build-cross.sh  with target powerpc-eabi ( per example on the
web) Is this the correct target to build OpenBSD PowerPC kernel on i386 ?
the messages refer to my machine as i386-unknown and the target I'm
building as powerpc -unknown-eabi. Is this OK  ? what environment variable
is it missing or is it normal?
- The samples on the web refer to "powerpc embedded" environment as needing
newlib. Do I need to use libc to instead ?
- Suppose everything compiled correctly - do I just run make in PowerPc
/compile? Or do I have to tell it somehow to use the cross compiler
instead? If yes, how ?

Thx Andy
