dear gromacs users,
I tried to cross-compile gromacs for powerpc on an intel x86 machine. i set the configure options as

export CPPFLAGS=-I/mnt/usr/local/include
export LDFLAGS=-L/mnt/usr/local/lib

=>i had mounted another root file system(simulated) onto mnt.
i ran the configure script with the following options.

./configure --prefix=/mnt/usr/local/ CC="/opt/sce/toolchain-2.3/ppu/bin/ppu-gcc -m32 -Wl,-m,elf32ppc" --enable-portable-binary CFLAGS=-L/home/murali/cell1.0.1/sysroot/usr/lib --host=powerpc64-linux RANLIB=/opt/sce/toolchain-2.3/ppu/bin/powerpc64-linux-ranlib


on doing make i got the following error

./mknb   -software_invsqrt
./mknb: ./mknb: cannot execute binary file
make[5]: *** [kernel-stamp] Error 126
make[5]: Leaving directory `/home/murali/gromacs/gromacs-3.3.1/src/gmxlib/nonbonded/nb_kernel'

make: *** [all-recursive] Error 1

i understand that the mknb file generated by make is an powerpc executable and therefore cannot be executed.(since i am on a intel machine).

kindly help me solve this problem.thank you in advance.
compile mknb separately for the host platform and run it before cross compiling.

you may also want to tell configure to use altivec

sincerely,
