If you can complete the configure step on the MPC862, then you should be able to
cross compile the rest.  You may have to play some games w/ swap to complete the
configure.  (For instance, enable swap over NFS or on a compact flash device..
just be aware swap is a quick way to burn out a CF card..)

Hi.
I just made my first attempt to build perl 5_005_03.
I'm runnig linux 2.4.18 on MPC862 at 100MHz with 64M ram.
My filesystem is nfs mounted.
While running ./Configure I got nice core dump
saying something about lack of the memory.
So my next quiestion is
1. Does anyone has binaries or rpm?
2. Did someone build perl before on same system?

If you are going to be building perl, you really need to do it "self-hosted",
unless you are prepared to do significant modification to the perl build system.
 Perl insists on being self-hosted compiled, it generates dynamic signal lists
and other structures based on the machine performing the compile, obviously that
doesn't work right in a cross compile situation.

Hello.
I found out that eldk 2.1.0 whic I'm using has no perl.
Does anybody succeded to build perl for ppc8xx?
Can you give please some details. Probably you have binaries/rpm
Thank you. Xol.
