RE: Run objdump under windows XP for XCOFF object file created from IBM AIX system

[David Du]

Hi, Ian, I tried both powerpc-aix and powerpc-elf, when I tested objdump -i,
they gave me error saying "objdump: can't set BFD default target to
powerpc-aix: Invalid bfd target" and "objdump: can't set BFD default target
to powerpc-unknown-elf: Invalid bfd target"; any other idea?

Thanks

David

Hmmm, maybe you need --target=powerpc-aix these days.

Or even --target=powerpc-elf should give you an objdump which can read
XCOFF files.
