References: <01BEADD9.DC71B320.dkirtley@red-river-eng.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit The cywin GCC is compiled to generate Intel 386,486... code ONLY. To generate code for the powerpc you must use a cross-compiler. There are a number of ways to obtain a gcc cross-compiler. 1) build one yourself from the gcc/egcs sources (not recommended for newbies unless this is what you really want to do). 2) obtain some precompiled binaries. I would recommend the Oject Software site (http://www.objsw.com). It has precompiled binaries (including libraries) of gcc that target m68k, powerpc, and sh-1. These run on DOS and Windows platforms. Get the powerpc downloads and the -mpowerpc option will then be recognised. The web site has the CrossGCC FAQ and details on how to join the CrossGCC mailing list. Brendan Simon.
