What a world. I've solved the problem, in two different ways.
The thing that started all this rigamarole is the fact that macports, which is a great way to get almost any tools that don't come with a Mac, only had avr-gcc 4.0.2. That was not only pretty old, but didn't have support for the latest chips. There is, in fact, an open bug in macports to get up to 4.3.2. All the other important tools (avr-bintools, avr-libc and avrdude) are at versions that are pretty close to current. So one way I solved the problem is by installing avr-binutils from macports. But I was also able to get the latest version from source to build, after applying the patches and adding "--disable-werror" to configure. Apparently the Mac gcc compiler is pickier than most. Looks like the basic problem was with binutils. After getting a good version, the gcc configure started accurately reporting which chips it supported and which it didn't. So all is well now. I'll post my scripts for how I did this soon. Thanks for the help! ----- ~Chris [email protected] _______________________________________________ AVR-libc-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/avr-libc-dev
