I have recently ported the Xinu operating system to one of our
68000 based controller boards. I used a compiler sold by
Microtec to develop the code, and for several reasons, I would like
to try the gnu compiler instead of the Microtec.
Since I don't know anything about the gnu compiler, there are a
few preliminary questions that I have:
1. Our development system is a Sun4/280. Can gcc be configured to
execute in this environment (sparc, and SunOS 4.0), and generate
68000 code?? In other words, can it be used in a cross-development
manner?
2. What other gnu software do I need in order to either compile gcc,
or use it? I was assume that I need the gnu assembler. Is there a
gnu loader?, or do I just use the Sun linker?
I would imagine that there is an existing document that already
answers these questions. A response that directs me to the particular
document(s) would be sufficient.
If someone out there could nudge me in the right direction, I would
greatly appreciate it.
