How can I develop software for a PowerPC? (reddthat.com)

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?

It has its original hard drive which still works

For reliability you should really switch to an IDE SSD.

Yes, they do exist. OWC sells them, albeit in laptop HDD size, so you will need an IDE adapter.
