What would it take to compile Win32 binary of PearPC under Linux?

I don't think you'd be able to without changing the code :D

If you want to compile perapc under linux you shold use gcc cross compiler and build enviroment. In debain you could get by installing following packages:

Code: Select all

mingw32 - Minimalist GNU win32 (cross) compiler
mingw32-binutils - Minimalist GNU win32 (cross) binutils
mingw32-runtime - Minimalist GNU win32 (cross) runtime

It is only theory. There are no assemble cross compiler for win32 AFAIK - maybe nasm should work, maybe not.

I've compiled plenty of stuff in MinGW and Cygwin before (including PearPC). I was asking about compiling Win32 binaries inside of Linux. I've heard of people doing that.

You have to install mingw on linux. Or compile gcc as crosscompiler yourself. Bu

Code: Select all

bogdan:/home/bogdan/ppc/pearpc# apt-cache search mingw 
mingw32 - Minimalist GNU win32 (cross) compiler
mingw32-binutils - Minimalist GNU win32 (cross) binutils
mingw32-runtime - Minimalist GNU win32 (cross) runtime

I wonder if PPC could run under WINE?

I'd be very surprised if it couldn't, but it probably wouldn't work as well as it does on windows.

Try it and tell us if it works.

Anyone interested in porting SheepShaver to Win32 so there will finally be a Windows port? :D

A windows port of SheepShaver would be superb.

It can't be THAT diffcult for someone with programing know-how.

Maybe the PearPC authors could do that :D
