I was actually looking for some way to build a biarch gcc 4.4.2 ie generate both 32 or 64 bit code. 32bit code for most userland apps and 64 bits of course to recompile the kernel and other muckings-around. It must be possible as the YDL guys have it done with the gcc 4.1.2 supplied on YDL 6.2. Now I am guessing it is probably a bit more difficult than just a normal gcc build but how it's done for a PPC I'm not sure, as I am not sure: 1) if just the right flags need setting 2) or if it's more involved, and there's a certain sequence to build it that the makefile just doesn't know. So, while I am not sure exactly what you are directing me to or alluding to with those links. All I want to do is compile a bi-arch gcc... If you are alluding to the futiliy of it, well, heck, it's only for fun, it's not like I have to or anything. Just plain ol' fun. > If you decide to move ahead with your plan, consider becoming a member of > the YDL Board... you mean yellowdog-board? yep, just visited it. Waiting to see if anyone can help. Might look to see if I can ask in something more gcc specific, like on usenet ... but seeing as YDL produced a distro with a bi-arch gcc to begin with, I thought I would try here first. > Sincerely, aguilarojo Rob Spykerman _______________________________________________ yellowdog-general mailing list - [email protected] Unsuscribe info: http://lists.fixstars.com/mailman/listinfo/yellowdog-general HINT: to Google archives, try '<keywords> site:us.fixstars.com'
