After we successfully compiled the binutils for the PowerPC platform now we will compile the compiler needed for compiling the Newlib library. (we will compile the GCC a second time for the final C,C++ PowerPC target).

Note:
If you are using the MinGW environment and you haven't patched the GCC sources yet please refer to Building PowerPC toolchain on the left navigation on how to patch the sources !

Here is the step-by-step tutorials:

• Set the needed environment variables in your shell with the following commands:
  (you should have already set them if you're going step-by-step through all the toolchain guides)
  
  target=powerpc-eabi-elf
  prefix=/usr/local/ngc/$target
  binaries=$prefix/bin
  PATH=$binaries:$PATH
  
  
• Change to your BUILD-GCC directory
  
  cd /gcc/build-gcc
  
  
• Configure your makefile so that it reflects your TARGET and DIRECTORIES
  
  ../gcc-3.3.2/configure --target=$target --prefix=$prefix --with-cpu=750 --with-gcc --with-gnu-as --with-gnu-ld --with-newlib --with-stabs --enable-languages=c,c++ --disable-nls --disable-threads --disable-shared --disable-softfloat --disable-multilib --disable-long-long
  
  
• Start the make-procedure including install
  
  make all-gcc install-gcc
  
  (this again takes a bit longer than before)
  

Now you have our preliminary PowerPC-GCC Compiler sitting in /usr/local/ngc/powerpc-eabi-elf/bin.

NOTE:
The compiler binaries resulting from this step are only used for compilation of the Newlib !! The real GCC (with C++ support) will be compiled after newlib !
