cross compiler MinGW->PowerPC

["Lippold, Roland" <Roland dot Lippold at MuellerBBM dot de>]

Hi

I try to create a MinGW-Win32 hosted cross compiler for a PowerPC platform
running nto-qnx.

My host system is an Intel Pentium running Windows XP. To use all the GNU
gcc tools I installed MinGW MSYS version 1.0.10 and MinGW version 5.1.3.
My sources for the wished cross compiler are:
- gcc-core release 3.4.5
- gcc-g++ release 3.4.5
- gcc-testsuite release 3.4.5
- binutils release 2.17.50
- newlib release 1.9.0

Building the binutils was successful, I used the following commands:
	configure --target=powerpc-unknown-nto-qnx\
		--disable-nls --disable-shared --enable-debug\
		--disable-threads --with-gcc --with-gnu-as\
		--with-gnu-ld --with-stabs --disable-multilib
	make all
	make install

As the next step I tried to build the C-compiler with the commands:
	configure --enable-languages=c,c++ \
		--with-cpu=PowerPC --disable-multilib\
		--with-gcc --with-gnu-ld --with-gnu-as --with-stabs \
		--disable-shared --disable-threads --disable-win32-registry
--disable-nls\
		--target=powerpc-unknown-nto-qnx --with-newlib -v
	make all-gcc
	make install-gcc

The configure script worked fine (build=i686-pc-mingw32,
host=i686-pc-mingw32, target=powerpc-unknown-nto-qnx).
Unfortunately "make all-gcc" failed with the message "*** Configuration
powerpc-unknown-nto-qnx not supported".
I am wondering about that, because config.sub returned
"powerpc-unknown-nto-qnx" as a correct configuration name.

Is there any other supported configuration available which corresponds to a
PowerPC platform (MPC5200) running QNX?

Thank you very much for any help.

With kind regards
