Re: [cdt-dev] new architecture support

[Douglas Schaefer <dschaefe@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Great news, Greg. Have you managed to get anything beyond Eclipse M8 
running on PPC linux? I have tried but there is something wrong in the 
build scripts. I have a bug open on the platform gang but haven't heard 
anything or retried it lately.

Doug,

I now have Eclipse running on PPC Linux (GTK and Motif) and, as you 
point out, CDT seems to work fine as is. MacOS X is proving more 
difficult, but I'll keep persevering...

Regards,

Greg
