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?

Check out T2 Linux.. I see it supports lots of hardware.

Edit: ahh g3 is a little too far. G4 minimum I think for T2

I do have a 2005 Mac Mini with the PowerPC CPU, maybe it'll work on that?
