This is easiest if you get the sources using cvs and svn, because then binutils, gdb, newlib and the simulator are already in a combined tree. But since you probably have the source tarballs, try something like this: mkdir src cd src tar -jxf gcc-xxx.tar.bz2 tar -jxf newlib-xxx.tar.bz2 tar -jxf binutils-xxx.tar.bz2 tar -jxf gdb-xxx.tar.bz2 ... mkdir combined cd combined ln -s ../gcc-xxx/* . ln -s ../newlib-xxx/* ln -s ../binutils-xxx/* ln -s ../gdb-xxx/* ... cd ../.. mkdir build cd build ../src/combined/configure --target=powerpc-eabi --prefix=... \ --with-newlib --enable-sim ... make make install There is some overlap (e.g. libiberty) between the source packages, and normally you want to use what's in the gcc sources. But I've had a case where libiberty from gcc was too old to compile binutils and then it should be OK to use the one from the binutils instead. Btw, the target powerpc-eabisim defaults to a setup suitable for producing binaries to run on the simulator. > I tried this http://www.ifp.uiuc.edu/~nakazato/tips/xgcc.html > But it doesn't work using binutils 2.17, gcc 4.1.2 and newlib 1.15.0... How do you know it doesn't work[1]? [1] Always post the error message or something like that. -- Rask Ingemann Lambertsen
