I recently built PowerPC cross compilers on cygwin using crosstools, not crosstools-ng. I do have libncurses (10, 8 and 9) runtime libraries (not devel), and crosstools doesn't depend on ncurses.
If your issue is still open I suggest you try crosstools. ./rahul On Sat, May 8, 2010 at 8:30 PM, Jeff Gilton <jgil...@cinci.rr.com> wrote: > > I am trying to build a PowerPC toolchain with Crosstool-NG version 1.7.0.
