Hi, I encountered a problem while trying to build the msp430 tool chain on my rh6.2 linux system. The instructions at http://mspgcc.sourceforge.net/doc_i nstall.html list the steps as:
$ mkdir binutils $ cd binutils $ bunzip2 -c ../binutils-2.11.tar.bz2 | tar xf - $ cd .. $ cvs -d:pserver:[email protected]:/cvsroot/mspgcc login $ cvs -z3 -d:pserver:[email protected]:/cvsroot/mspgcc co binutils $ cd binutils/binutils-2.11 $ ./configure --target=msp430 --prefix=/usr/local/msp430 $ make When I follow this order, the cvs co detects conflicts due to existing files from the tarball. In order to get around this problem, I altered the order and added the -k switch when untarring. $ mkdir binutils $ cvs -d:pserver:[email protected]:/cvsroot/mspgcc login $ cvs -z3 -d:pserver:[email protected]:/cvsroot/mspgcc co binutils $ cd binutils $ bunzip2 -c ../binutils-2.11.tar.bz2 | tar xkf - $ cd binutils/binutils-2.11 $ ./configure --target=msp430 --prefix=/usr/local/msp430 $ make Did I make a mistake, or is this an error in the build instructions? thanks, galen
