the oub function  defination is in  "asm/io.h"..which

You make many errors here at once.

First: "asm/io.h" is a kernel header file, and you are  not  supposed
to include it at all in a user space application file.

Second: outb() is only available for kernel code (drivers) on PowerPC.

Third: I don't think that 0x378 will work on your MPC8245 board.

Four: eventually there is not even a PC style parallel port  on  your
board.

in x86 it was executed perfectly...

Not all the world is a VAX...


Check with your board manual if there is really a PC  style  parallel
port  on  it,  and if so, on which addresses it is mapped. Then study
Alessandro Rubini, Jonathan Corbet:  _"Linux  Device  Drivers"_,  2nd
Edition,  and  get  a clue about driver programming. Then implement a
device driver.

FORTRAN? The syntactically incorrect statement "DO 10 I = 1.10"  will
parse  and  generate  code  creating  a  variable, DO10I, as follows:
"DO10I = 1.10" If that doesn't terrify you, it should.
