[webkit-dev] Clarification on developing an embedded browser in PPC platform

[devan sai]

Hi,

Thanks David/Jean for the replies,

My platform is PPC machine with Debian linux running on it. So if the
installation exists already for PPC on MAC, can we take the same source with
minimal changes in Makefile/similar items and put it on Powepc linux
machine?

Regards,
Devan
