Hello

I am really new to Linux, I have Fedora 11 on a Pentium core machine, as I understand the gcc is the default compiler and is used by MySQL installation, I installed the ELDK for ppc_8xx platform "Freescale processors" I followed all the instructions for the ELDK for setting the CROSS_COMPILE variable, "export CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_8xx-", but when I run "python setup.py build" it makes a distribution for linux-i686 and the _mysql.so is not accepted by the python in the embedded system.

Is there any way to tell the setup program to use the ppc_8xx-gcc instead of the gcc alone, or add arguments to the compiler for example "{CROSS_COMPILE}gcc" ?

Many thanks
