Linux to PPC Darwin Cross Compiler

English Deutsch Español Italiano

Linux to powerpc Darwin/OSX cross-compiler

This script is designed to be run as root. The goal is to install a cross-compiler to be able to build TestDisk and PhotoRec for MacOS X.

Once the cross-compiler is installed, you should be able to build a program using

./configure --host=powerpc-apple-darwin && make
