Yup .. me too - my oldest oldest is a 500MHz power mac AGP (runs darwin8 and takes 3 days to bootstrap the compiler and a week to test it).. .. but mostly I work on a Quad G5. > Can someone tell me the most recent version of GCC that still supports > this platform? GCC supports powerpc-darwin9 (and actually powerpc using Rosetta on darwin10) up to and including current trunk (GCC-14). The only constraint is the compiler used to bootstrap the build. Iff you want to build GCC with the last released xcode (3.1.4) for Darwin9 [MacOSX 10.5] then you will need to stick with GCC10.x as the last version (newer GCC now needs C++11 to bootstrap, which is not supported by xcode 3.1.4). However, once you have a suitable bootstrap compiler [GCC 5 or newer] you can use that to build any current version of GCC. I publish branches with some “go faster stripes” for MacOSX / Darwin here: https://github.com/iains (but for powerpc darwin, the upstream branches should also be fine). HTH, Iain
