Re: GAS installation for PowerPC

[Debabrata Sengupta <debabrata at macmetit dot com>]

Hi Korn,

Thanks for your suggestion and also for spending your valuable time to
answer our query. I tried to configure it for other procesor such
PowerPC, SH4. I tried to configure using the following command:

./configure --host=sparc-sun-solaris2.5.1        --target=powerpc
make all
make install

./configure --host=sparc-sun-solaris2.5.1        --target=SH4
make all
make install

But the s/w is installed for target processor being set as host. Can you
please suggest how to configure so that "gas" can be configured for
PowerPC, SH4 etc.

Thanking you,

Yours sincerely,

Debabrata
