Setting up a PowerPC compiler under linux and compiling code

[mojobojo]

Sorry Windows users, this is a job for linux. This is for under pretty much any version of Ubuntu. If you are not on Ubuntu or any Debian based OS you will need to install some packages manually.

Prerequisites
You must have gcc and make installed before continuing

sudo apt-get install gcc make

First you must get the proper packages

sudo apt-get install libgmp3-dev libmpfr-dev texinfo git-core gettext build-essential

Continue on past this to "Clone free60s git" if you are using Ubuntu.

Building gmp and mpfr manually.

gmp first

cd /tmp/
wget http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gmp/gmp-4.3.2.tar.gz
tar xvf gmp-4.3.2.tar.gz
cd gmp-4.3.2
./configure
sudo make install

then mpfr

cd /tmp/
wget http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/mpfr/mpfr-3.0.0.tar.gz
tar xvf mpfr-3.0.0.tar.gz
cd mpfr-3.0.0
./configure
sudo make install

Clone free60s git

git clone git://free60.git.sourceforge.net/gitroot/free60/free60

Navigate to the toochain dir

cd free60/toolchain

Build the toolchain as superuser

sudo ./build-xenon-toolchain toolchain

When its done open up .bashrc in gedit

gedit ~/.bashrc

Add these lines to the bottom

export DEVKITXENON="/usr/local/xenon"
export PATH="$PATH:$DEVKITXENON/bin:$DEVKITXENON/usr/bin"

Close terminal and open it back up for the changes to take effect.

Compile your assembly code

xenon-as -be -many asmcode.S -o out.elf

Output it as binary

xenon-objcopy out.elf -O binary out.bin
