To Tomasz Grysztar:
Hello Tom. Do you think build fasm for PowerPC microprocessor (IBM) ?

no. It's written in x86 asm.

And what for? PowerPC not so popular platform that under one it was meaningful to develop the compiler. It unless when will not be ANY problems with x86-platform or as a hobby Smile

I heard the gamecube used a powerpc processor... But that's all hearsay, since i didn't bother looking myself.

As far that I know FASMARM http://board.flatassembler.net/topic.php?t=4191 is supposed to compile for ARM based Processors, but it needs an x86 machine to run.

There is an assembler called -> fantasm, that assemble's power-pc assembly code, it requires a power-pc mac to run though. Another problem is it hasn't been maintained since 2004, but it is now open source therefore free.

Here is the link

Hi, yes, fasmarm is a cross assembler.

mastek: Do you want a PowerPC cross assembler or do you want the whole of fasm ported to run on the PowerPC?

In fact MAC pass on Intel-based platform. And on the other hand, you can buy to yourself newer MAC and use FASM for x86 Wink

OpenWatcom 1.6 has a PowerPC assembler (WASPPC.EXE, version 0.3, under \BINW).

Also the Xbox 360 from M$ uses a PowerPC-based CPU, since the Intel CPU in the previous Xbox was not "efficient" enough, so now we got the prove that even M****S**t finds x86 based CPU unefficient Laughing

And I find it more important that the PlayStation 3's Cell processor got a Power-PC based main/supervisor CPU.
