Sourcery G++ supports the following host operating systems:
Microsoft Windows NT 4, Windows 2000, Windows XP, and Windows Vista systems using IA32, AMD64, and EM64T processors.
GNU/Linux systems using the IA32, AMD64, or EM64T processors, including Debian 3.0 (and later), Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 (and later), SuSE Enterprise Linux 8 (and later).
Solaris 2.8 (and later) systems using SPARC processors.
Not all combinations of host and target systems are available. Therefore, Sourcery G++ for your target system may not be available on all of the above host systems.
Sourcery G++ is built as a 32-bit application. Therefore, even when running on a 64-bit GNU/Linux host system, Sourcery G++ requires 32-bit host libraries. If these libraries are not already installed on your system, you must install them before installing and using Sourcery G++ Lite. Consult your operating system documentation for more information about obtaining these libraries.
In order to install and use Sourcery G++ Lite, you must have at least 128MB of available memory.
The amount of disk space required for a complete Sourcery G++ Lite installation directory depends on the host operating system and the number of target libraries included. Typically, you should plan on at least 400MB. In addition, the graphical installer requires a similar amount of scratch space during the installation process.
See Chapter 3, Sourcery G++ Lite for MIPS ELF for requirements that apply to the target system.
