As part of learning MIPS assembly, I want to cross compile some C source

  • 0

As part of learning MIPS assembly, I want to cross compile some C source files with LCC and then disassemble them. I found a MIPS disassembler that runs on Windows, but it says in the description:

Disassembles pure memory dumps (raw code) and GCC object files

I know that for x86 there are multiple executable / object file formats depending on the target OS. Is this the case for MIPS? Do you think this will work? Or am I going to be stuck having to install a linux distro so that I can use one of the precompiled gcc MIPS toolchains like CodeSourcery?

    It looks like lcc supports the -S compiler option, which emits the assembly output. Perhaps that would save you some effort?

    Executable formats are always according to the operating system and compiler (which obviously must work hand-in-hand). If you decide you need to use gcc, http://faculty.cs.tamu.edu/bettati/Courses/410/2006C/Projects/gxemulcygwin.html appears to discuss a means of installing one under Win32 through cygwin.
