I have been reading through several posts trying to determine how to compile the GNU tools (gcc, binutils, gdb, ...) under OS X in an attempt to create m68k-coff and powerpc-eabi cross compilers (for embedded systems). So far I have tried copying the config.* files from /usr/libexec/ and tried ./configure, but after much processing the configure process fails indicating the following:

Configuration powerpc-apple-darwin1.2 not supported
Configure in /users/admin/download/crossgcc/gcc-2.95.2/gcc failed, exiting.

Anyone have any ideas? (I am actually logged in as 'root', but just dumped all of the utilities in my 'admin' directory) I already have the developer tools installed (cc does work).

Also, how does one enable Finder to "see" invisible files/folders?

Thanks,

I removed Makefile and config. from the src directory and now it seems to get farther, but I get this error:


configure: error: source directory already configured; run make distclean there first
Configure in /users/admin/download/crossgcc/b-m68k-coff/opcodes failed, exiting.

I moved to the gcc-2.95.2 directory and did 'make distclean' and tried running 'sh build-cross.sh m68k-coff' but that failed with the same error.


Here's my "CrossGCC" directory:
.DS_Store build-cross.sh glibc-2.2.2 src
b-m68k-coff gcc-2.95.2 newlib-1.9.0 tars
binutils-2.10.1 gdb-5.0 one-tree-1.6.sh

The only thing i can suggest is that you wait for Apple to do it for you - they're trying to get their cc merged with the official gcc , so you could get all the tools provided with either 1.0 or the first update.

At least, don't tear your hair out until you find out
