3: The OpenSolaris PPC-Dev project has a GNU based cross development toolchain for PowerPC port bring up. The tools are for a Solaris x86 host only, currently no Sparc based host is available. The project uses 32 bit versions of GNU binutils 2.16 and GCC 3.4.3 during this development phase. 
4: 
5: What you find below is a set of archives that supports the project along with a general status. The original build of GCC and binutils are in the form of a Solaris package. These set of tools, by themselves can be used to build the original 10/02/2006 release of the project’s source code ie: rev 1 of the svn repository and are sufficient to build up to rev 68 of the ppc-dev svn repository. You will then be required to upgrade the original tools in order to support the progress that has been made, most notably the switch to a solaris cross dev ld. Details can be found at the [[GNU task map page>>Project ppc-dev.bld_env]]. We only mention this to track a bit of the development history, if you are here for the first time read the details below.

7: POLARIS titled GNU binutils 2.16 and GCC 3.4.3 are binary packages and also have source patches against the std GNU releases.

10: 
11: updated ONBLD tools - ppc-dev~_ppc~_onbld_2009r1.tar.bz2: new solaris x86 ld, shared libelf.so.1, liblddbg.so.4, libld.so.4 and aw. These changes are necessary to support builds of the libraries ie: libc. We encourage folks to build cmd/sgs and test out the overall process from source and provide feedback but you can also take the more straightforward route and use the archive supplied here.

13: == Status 02/08/09 ==
14: 
15: updated ONBLD tools - ppc-dev~_ppc~_onbld.tar.bz2: ctfconvert utility 
16: 
17: Direct alert msg to stderr. This was producing an error in the assym.h file generation  in the libc build.
18: 
19: == Status 11/02/07 ==
20: 
21: There is an updated toolchain posted that has g++, the cplusplus language frontend as part of the set. The tar file had to be split into 2 parts so please install both over your existing tools.
22: 
23: Also we have moved the x-dev solaris ld into the onbld update so this is required. The ld shared libs have also been updated here. So be sure to install this with the others, 3 updated files in all.

35: If you are installing the tools for the first time the suggested process is to install the two solaris packages first

37: {{{
38:     POLARISbinutils.tar.bz2 & POLARISgcc.tar.bz2

47: then from your root dir unzip, then extract the following tar file after unzipping it

59: 
60: This will update your toolchain to build the pending source release. If you already have the original tools installed just extract the ppc-dev tar files and the onbld updates.
61: 
62: Note that updated GCC bins use the cross dev solaris ld and it’s associated c runtime libs in the ppc_onbld tools archive. It currently is being updated on a continuous basis so checl the status frequently.
