[comp.sys.m88k] Needed: Cross GNU C compiler: 88000 --> 680x0

abc@Matrix.COM (Alan Clegg) (08/17/90)

Along the same lines as the person wanting a Sparc -> 88000 cross compiler, 
has anyone compiled GNU C on the AViiON (m88k) to create 680x0 code?

No, but once again, it should be trivial.  Just select which type of 68k
target system you plan on using (GCC supports several), then type:

	config.gcc <target-type>

where <target-type> is the type of the target you selected.  Then do:

	rm -f config.h
	ln -s config/xm-m88kdgux.h config.h

Then make it.

When you do the above actions, you should use the GNU CC sources from FSF.
The GNU CC sources for the m88100 port are not expected to support targets
other than the m88100.
