Well, there is a misunderstanding. What is missing here is not to have gcc generate powerpc elf code for running in on debian gnu/linux on oldworld pmac hardware, but a compiler able to output code in whatever format was used in mac OS <10. Or a powerpc linux->macos cross compilerif you prefer. Friendly, Sven Luther -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
