I asked this a year or more ago and got back a nice reply but now I
want to do something slightly different.
I'm wanting to have g++ on my Mac that can just do a compile to
assembler. Essentially, I'm wanting just a syntax check. So far, my
attempts have come up short.
I tried just copying over the AIX header files and using the Mac
compiler but I run off into the weeds. I'm guessing that the Mac
compiler has a different set of predefines. I tried to specify the
AIX predefines by looking at the output with -v set but I'm still not
able to compile. I have -nostdinc set and a few -I<dir> options set
along with a couple of -Uxxx to take out what the Mac compiler
defines and a couple -Dxxx to add in what the AIX compiler defines.
It still isn't working.
So, then I thought I would try to compile gcc using the cross
compiler options using the Mac as the host and AIX as the target. I
get up to where it tries to build libstdc++ and then the configure
script stops with "undefined host/target combination". I've loaded
binutils on the Mac, compiled with AIX as the target as well. Still
no go.
I'm trying this wit gcc 4.0.2, AIX 5.3, and Mac OS X 10.4 (power pc).
I'm about to give up. Its just sort of a whim that I want this
anyway. It would be fun to be able to edit my AIX code while I'm
away on trips (as I am now) and not connected to my AIX host but
there really is no practical reason to do this. But I thought I
would post to this let to see if anyone has any suggestions or hints.
Thank you,
