I'm trying to build a PowerPC-targeted gcc (4.3.3) on a PowerPC OS X 10.5 system. I have the latest Xcode installed, which comes with gcc 4.0 and 4.2. The reason I'm doing this is because I want to build a 4.3-based toolchain that can generate Linux binaries for PowerPC embedded systems. Unfortunately, I'm not getting very far at all. When I run this command: ./gcc-4.3.3/configure --target=powerpc-linux --program-prefix=powerpc- I get this error: checking for C compiler default output file name... configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables
Producing GCC binaries requires a working C toolchain (C compiler, C library, assembler, linker,...) for the "host" system, in your case for OS X 10.5! The GCC "sources" are mostly in 'C' language, so a working C compiler for the host is required to compile them. In order to make the executables for the "OS X to Linux/PPC" crosscompiler, producing executables for OS X 10.5 MUST work ! The error tells that now you cannot produce any executables for OS X 10.5 with the installed "Xcode" (what on earth is that?) !
and config.log says this: configure:3194: checking for C compiler default output file name configure:3197: gcc conftest.c >&5 /usr/libexec/gcc/powerpc-apple-darwin9/4.0.1/ld: warning unknown -macosx_version_min parameter value: 10.5.6 ignored (using 10.1)
This says "powerpc-apple-darwin9"... Is that really the same thing as "a PowerPC OS X 10.5 system" ? Ie do you really have GCC etc made for OS X 10.5 ? Not one made for OS X 9.x ?
