PPC(64) compiling question
Not a direct ask for help but how do you compile for PPC(64)? Is it via cross compiling or do you just have a G5 (or similar) JUST FOR compiling UXP?

Re: PPC(64) compiling question
I use a PowerMac G5 running Debian. It was a daily driver for a long time. Now it's just a compiling / testing machine mostly.

Re: PPC(64) compiling question
I have not tried to do it myself, but apparently Jazzzny is doing PowerPC Mac builds on Apple Silicon using a cross compiled build environment.
I personally do my Mac PowerPC builds on a Dual Processor PowerMac G5 running 10.5 and the Linux PowerPC64 builds on a single processor PowerMac G5 running Debian 11.

Re: PPC(64) compiling question
Do you have a compile guide for how you compile it on your G5?

Re: PPC(64) compiling question
Well, there was discussion about it on the my White Star github issue #2, but I haven't written up anything specifically for it:

This has some old information in it, but it gives you an idea. I'll try to write up something that is up-to-date soon.
