Newbie Question

[henkel]

I'm new to the GCC world. Lots of good compilicated stuff.  I've been
reading the posts and FAQ's and trying to digest it all.

I think I know the answer to my question but I'm going to ask it anyway.

Is there a cross compiler that can be run on an NT Platform that produces
code for PPC 's (403/740/405) processors? If so can you point me in the
right direction to get started.

Thanks,

Dean

describes how to build mingw as a cross compiler, I think.

Ah, hidden somewhere in the MINGW site, they do mention a cross compiler 
and a download of a prebuilt toolchain. Appears to be version 3.2.3.

Wlll give that a try first.

If it had a *cross* compiler. Seems to be native win32 only.

For that you want mingw

wouldnt it be easier to just download prebuilt toolchains from

L.S.

Would crosstool be of any help for building a linux-x86 hosted cross-gcc 
+ binutils targeted at win32(x86)?

Thanks,

It is the C++ runtime environment (libstc++ etc) which contains 
references to glibc.

newbie question

[Buday Gergely]

Hi,

I've learned that the compilation of a cross-gcc toolchain involves 
compiling a C cross-compiler, then cross-compiling libc and then compiling 
the full C++ cross-compiler.

My question is: why are these three steps necessary? Why do we need 
cross-compiled target-libc in order to compile the full compiler?

Thanks

- Gergely

Newbie question

[MEDBERRY, DAVID (A-Loveland, ex1)]

I am building a cross-compiler (hpux -> powerpc-linux).

I keep running into problems building glibc.

However, I have no troubles building a (i386-linux ->powerpc-linux) glibc.
Can I use this glibc in my hpux toolchain? If so, how do I go about doing
this?

I have been using bill gatliffs build script.

If I prefix both systems the same, say:

/opt/cross/powerpc-linux 

(but on two different systems) what parts do I need to copy from the linux
system over to the hpux system so that I can then build a "final" gcc that
works?
