Running the PTP Cell/B.E on PPC

This document discusses any issues that may come up when running the PTP Cell/B.E on a Power-PC (PPC) machine.

Managed Builder Paths

The Cell SDK's GNU and XL tool paths are at different locations on a PPC based machine than on machines with intel processors. The PTP Cell/B.E's default paths reflect the default Cell SDK tool paths of a intel-based computer, so these paths must be corrected if you wish to run the PTP Cell/B.E on PPC. This can be done as follows:
  1. After installing the PTP Cell/B.E, open Eclipse preferences by clicking Window -> Preferences
  2. Open the GNU Tools Managed Build Paths preference page: Cell -> Managed Builder Paths -> GNU Tools Managed Build Paths
  3. Click Find it! to automatically find the GNU tools location, or click Browse... to manually select the location
  4. Do the same for the XL Tools Managed Build Paths preference page
