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. Bruce _______________________________________________ Linuxppc-embedded mailing list Linuxppc-embedded@ozlabs.org https://ozlabs.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxppc-embedded
