[Gnupoc-development] OS X gcc success

[S. W. <sbw...@ya...>]

Hi :

I followed the "notes for patching gcc 539 to big endian on mac osx 
host" on http://gnupoc.sourceforge.net/macosx.html and it seems to have 
worked ! Needless to say the process was a bit tedious but I think that 
I have a working copy of the compiler now. I haven't tried building a 
complete program yet though.

Here are some notes I made:

- I'm on 10.3.7 with devtools 1.5 and the november 2004 compiler update 
installed
- needed to install manually these packages from XcodeTools1.5__CD.dmg
-- gcc2.95.2
-- X11SDK

Then I did:

- unzip gcc539src.zip
- chmod -R 755 src
- find src -type f -print | xargs recode -f dos..latin1

Aside from that the instructions worked as advertised for me except at 
the very end, for me, sudo make install had no problems. Nothing 
happened with cmp or diff or whatever. I installed by the way into 
/usr/local/symbian and I tried using 
/usr/local/symbian/bin/arm-epoc-pe-gcc to compile one of my source 
files. It seemed to work and I get this:

% /usr/local/symbian/bin/arm-epoc-pe-objdump -h test.o

test.o:     file format epoc-pe-arm-little

Andre you made those instructions right?
