Paul, I hope that it is OK to attach a file. Here is an example of how I am compiling a program for the cell. Disclaimer: I realize that my make rules (in rules.mk) are probably a little whacky... -- Benjamin Karl Bergen CCS-2 Continuum Dynamics Los Alamos National Laboratory Makefile

Paul, the cell does use C and C++ compilers. However, programs for the different "sub-processors", i.e., the PPE and the SPEs (the PPE is the single PowerPC processor, and the SPEs are the 8 synergistic processing elements), must be compiled using separate compilers. Additionally, the SPE progra

Thanks for your interest. For Autoconf, the language we added support for most recently was Erlang, so my suggestion would be to look everywhere in the Autoconf source for "Erlang" (ignoring case), and do something similar for your language. I'm not familiar with ppuc. I thought that people were

Hi, I am working at the Los Alamos National Laboratory on a project involving the IBM Cell processor. Building for the cell requires several compilation steps with different compilers. I would like to add to the languages supported by autotools so that there is a simple way to define and build
