Hi all,
I apologize if the list finds this off topic, but I'm at a loss of
who to
ask the question and thought this would be a good place to start. Our
target is an MPC8347E PowerQUICC II Pro, and we're using the latest
kernel
(2.6.25). We started this project by building on x86 and doing
cross-compiling to the powerpc target. As the project progressed
and we
started adding applications we found that we couldn't cross-compile
postgress among other things. So we switched to native compilation
on the
target. Problem is, it's extreamly slow. Now our idea is to get our
hands on a PowerPC based Mac, load it up with Ubuntu and do native
builds
on that. The question is, which Mac to get? The concern is this: a
G5 is
64-bit but the 8347E is 32-bit. If we do our compiles on a G5 is it
really a 'native' compile or is it a cross-compile and we're back in
the
same boat as we were with the x86? Should we use a G4 instead?
Thanks for any advice or pointers to other places where I can find
information.
Do you plan on running the same Ubuntu install (for ppc32) on the
8347e? If not you'll need to be careful to ensure libraries, etc are
the same or compatible.
