Back in the days of SuSE 7.1 we had cross-compilers as separate tool packages e.g. cross-ppc-gcc. I'm trying to update a tool chain based on this (runs on x86, produces code to run on embedded PPC target platform), but there is no sign of this package in 10.1.

Can anyone advise me what happened to it?

** Seeing as this post has been moved by an administrator from the general 'software' thread to 'PPC', I should stress that it's an x86 package that I'm looking for to cross compile to PPC - not to run on PPC itself. **

Thanks,

I suppose they decided that anybody who needed such a thing would be able to make one themselves, and the space would be better used for other packages. It's not just the compiler you need but also the runtime libraries, include files, etc. 7.1 was a long time ago, really.
