Hi, I'm trying to setup a cross compiler for a powerpc to compile on Intel-type computers, one sid, one squeeze. To do so, I followed the instruction on wiki.debian.org/EmdebianToolchain. First, I copied the apt-source lines from the wiki, matching the debian version in each case. Then I typed apt-get update without any error messages.
Then, the wiki suggests to search for something containing "powerpc" and ending on gnueabi, but apt-cache didn't show that. So I looked just for gcc and powerpc and tried to install three packages. On squeeze, this worked (installing 13 packages), but on sid, I was asked for two further packages, which I added manually to the apt-get list: apt-get install gcc-4.4-base-powerpc-cross gcc-4.4-powerpc-linux-gnu gcc-4.4-powerpc-linux-gnu-base cpp-4.4-powerpc-linux-gnu libgmp3c2 Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done Package libgmp3c2 is not available, but is referred to by another package. This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or is only available from another source E: Package 'libgmp3c2' has no installation candidate So I decided to continue on squeeze, alas: apt-get install xapt Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done E: Unable to locate package xapt Am I doing something wrong, or is it just impossible to get a cross compiler for powerpc?
