Favourite OS Digital UNIX 3.2D
I managed to installed Solaris 2.5.1 for PowerPC on a Motorola Powerstack (MT604-133) system, but as this was a very rare OS there is virtually no software available for it... Is anyone aware of a compiler for this system? I understand there was a release of the sun workshop compiler for ppc, but i've had absolutely no luck locating this. There are also supposedly some compatible versions of GCC however i can't find a precompiled version and without any compiler whatsoever, can't bootstrap it from source.

Your best hope is to try to build a cross compiler, then cross compile a compiler (canadian cross?) assuming you can find a binutils/gcc that support powerpc solaris.

Hello,
Same situation here. I'm running it on Powerstack E1, and searching the compilers for a long time. I've located someone who had the compilers set, he'll search for them and I'll let you know when receive the outcome.
