If anyone is interested in building ffmpeg, I have fixed several its components to build for PowerPC and in particular 10A190.
libsdl2 – updated to v. 2.0.9
libzvbi – fixed build on 10A190
libass – fixed build on 10A190
libvpx – updated to the latest version
Here is the config which currently...
I am trying to fix ghc compiler for PowerPC Macs. I was able to build ghc 7.6.3 after bootstrapping ghc 7.0.1 from existing semi-official source, however as of now 7.7 and 7.8.4 fail to build with an odd error.
I describe the progress here: https://trac.macports.org/ticket/64698

I have bumped into this post and found it pretty fascinating: how to get Tiger onto a pre-historic PowerMac. Wonder if the author is here.

Hello,
I apologize for my ignorance for this topic. I am trying to get Linux on my (New World) PowerPC Mac and am having an extremely hard time. I was trying Macbuntu but after burning the ISO to a DVD, I cannot boot from it by holding option at startup. I click on the disc but it will just...
Has anyone been able to build i2p and Signal for PowerPC?
i2p has a version in C++ which in principle should build: https://i2pd.readthedocs.io/en/latest/
GUI version requires Qt5, so unless someone either backports it to Qt4 or fixes Qt5 for ppc, we are out of luck...
Hello,
I have a summer 2001 iMac G3 that I have no idea the background of. All I know is that it does not turn on. I have changed the PRAM battery and pushed the reset button on the logic board, and I have checked the trickle power which showed that the PSU isn't supplying enough power. I am...
While I looked around for the Dropbox for my G4 machines (Powerbook G4 1.5, MDD 2 x 1Ghz & Powermac G4 1.2Ghz), since @Czo had stopped updating his Dropbox magic, I found two alternatives that can sync what I type in my Powerpc realm to the current world of two-way aunthentication.
1. I use...
Hey all, I recently acquired a 2000 Graphite Gigabit Ethernet Power Mac G4 from an estate sale, and it came with the mouse, keyboard, monitor, and everything. It’s in very good condition, but the thing doesn’t power on right now because the clock battery inside of it is dead, so I’ve ordered a...
I have asked in Devepment section, but apparently no one gonna reply there since my question is related to PowerPC: https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/how-to-customize-xcode-support-of-compilers.2332673

I have a rather non-standard set up to build for PowerPC: 10.6 PPC (10A190) with Xcode 3.2 and 10.6.8 with Xcode 3.2, Xcode 3.2.6 and Xcode 4.2.
There are two problems:
1. I have gcc10 and gcc11 built for PowerPC, however I don't know how to make Xcode see them. Same goes for Macports gcc6 and...
Hi everyone,
I have a iMac G4 that I change the HD, so now has a clean HD new. I changed the battery
I switch on and does nothing, sometimes appears the logo and gets kernel panic, sometimes I enter to Open Firmware with "Invalid access memory" message. But the most cases is black screen.

Mission [mostly] accomplished, we got a working gcc11 compiler on a PowerPC:
Anyone who may want to make it build:
1. First build and install this branch of gcc10 using Apple native gcc42: https://github.com/iains/gcc-10-branch/tree/gcc-10-3-ppc
2. Using newly built gcc10, build gcc11...
So I'm now in an interesting spot: My mom has reclaimed her PowerMac G5 as a end table (irreparably damaging the MB and other components when she stripped the case out). This leaves me with a Thinkpad P51 and a MBP2020.
I would like a PPC Mac for nostalgia purposes but also as a dedicated word...
Hi everybody. I'm trying to restart a project I left a few years ago. The thing is I want to install OS X 10.4 on my unsupported iBook. I remember I did it a few years ago, but I don't remember how I did it and now I don't find the solution anywhere. I'd like to know 1) how to create a bootable...
I have found RTT v. 12 that claims to be universal, but it fails to install for me. Roxio website has nothing useful at all.
(I happen to have licenses for v. 11 and v. 12, so only looking for the dmg or pkg of the app, provided either of these is the latest Universal one.)
I looking for a way to either make modern XIB files readable on PowerPC with Xcode 3.2 or possibly some converter to run on Intel Mac to turn XIB into NIB or something else that Xcode 3.2 can understand and use in place of XIBs to build a project.
Hello all,
I decided to make this post here because I was interested in knowing what some of you have used in terms of PCI upgrades for a PowerMac G4 AGP. I have a PowerMac G4 Digital Audio with an upgraded GPU with no populated PCI cards at the moment. I'm wondering what would be some good...
So with everyone always sharing what they've done with a PowerPC Mac recently, I thought I'd add a fitting companion into the mix. Although I've had the idea (and rudimentary contents) for making a relatively simple thread like this since April, it wasn't until I saw this guy on reddit that I...
