Hi group,

I have a little problem out here. I have some codes with me which i have to run on PowerPC based target. I dont have that particular hardware with me. Can anyone suggest a cross-compiler or an emulator, so that i can compile my codes in linux and make a PowerPC executable from here. I tried qemu but it didn't work. Any help in this regard is most welcome.

Thanks in advance,
Umesh.

Please guys.... Help me out here.. Can anyone give me a headstart??
Hoping for a positive reply,
Umesh.

Why didn't it work with qemu?

Thanks for the reply..
It was making a 386 executable rather than a powerpc executable. The cross compiler option 'powerpc-750-unknown-gnu-gcc' was not coming.. Instead it was to build a 386 based executable. I did everything following the "Emulation and cross-development for PowerPC" page in the link http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/li...emulation.html ..
qemu-ppc emulator was installed correctly but the crosstool was the problem.
Please help me out. I cant afford a VxWorks (For the workbench or the Tornado compiler). Any way out..
Can i sit on windows and do something? Is there any emulator like that?
I'm fairly new to this field. Kindly guide me through..

Thanks in advance,
Umesh

Why do you need a cross-compiler if you are using qemu?
Just install any ppc distro on qemu and get the ppc compiler from the repos...

Can u elaborate a little bit on that. Where to get the distros?
