Requirements

Building the target itself requires a 64-bit little endian PowerPC compiler that is supported by cc-rs.

Building the target

The target can be built by enabling it for a rustc build.

[build]
target = ["powerpc64le-unknown-linux-gnu"]

Make sure your C compiler is included in $PATH, then add it to the config.toml:

[target.powerpc64le-unknown-linux-gnu]
cc = "powerpc64le-linux-gnu-gcc"
cxx = "powerpc64le-linux-gnu-g++"
ar = "powerpc64le-linux-gnu-ar"
linker = "powerpc64le-linux-gnu-gcc"

Building Rust programs

This target is distributed through rustup, and requires no special configuration.

Cross-compilation

This target can be cross-compiled from any host.

Testing

This target can be tested as normal with x.py on a 64-bit little endian PowerPC host or via QEMU emulation.
