Are these acceptable make.conf flags?

[Scorched]

Code: Select all

ARCH="ppc"

# GCC flags

CHOST="powerpc-apple-darwin"
CFLAGS="-mcpu=7450 -O2 -pipe
	-maltivec -mabi=altivec -mpowerpc-gfxopt"
CXXFLAGS="-mcpu=7450 -O2 -pipe
	-maltivec -mabi=altivec -mpowerpc-gfxopt"

This is my first time to use Portage for OS X, and I don't know if the CHOST setting is independent of the flag settings or if it will mess up things.

I have a second generation G4. Should I add/modify/delete any of those flags?

*EDIT*: I guess I should be using -faltivec since Portage utilizes the Apple gcc compiler.

This is gonna sound pretty stupid...

...but if it was my Mac and I had almost no expirience like you. I'd stick to Yello Dog...

Anyway, In general you can use the standard "safe" settings as it is on the CD.

Yes, this is rather stupid. The question was about portage for OS X. Yellowdog is a linux on ppc distro. No relation whatsoever. And I don't see anything wrong with these flags, but I'm not an expert.

That is why I said, the standards are pretty good

My cflags in linux and MacOSX:

Code: Select all

CFLAGS="-g -O2 -pipe -mcpu=7450 -mtune=G4 -maltivec -mabi=altivec -fsigned-char -mpowerpc-gfxopt -fomit-frame-pointer -ffast-math -mmultiple -mstring"

I also use these in XCode.
