how to make a PowerPC executable??

[umesh krishnan]

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.

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/library/pa-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..


Any help in this regard is most welcome.

Thanks in advance,
Umesh.

Building a gcc-based cross toolchain isn't that difficult nowadays. The
crosstool scripts (available at http://www.kegel.com/crosstool/) should make
your life much easier.

If you want to build a "native" powerpc compiler that run inside a qemu
based linux system (so that you can also test the binary on this target),
you could also have a look at http://impactlinux.com/fwl/
