Does anyone know how I can cross-compile software for a 1999 iMac G3 with a PowerPC processor? Are there resources on how to develop for this CPU and is there any community around it?

The Yocto project supports PowerPC as a compilation option so you could build a lightweight distribution from source that way

Wow that's pretty cool! I'll have to try that one day, so long as I can test it in a live environment.
