Hi all,
--- DISCLAIMER ----
I do not warrant anything about this new installer. It works for me. I
hope it works for you. Meaningful problem reports will be seriously
addressed, if I can reproduce the problem. If some unresearched article
somewhere tells you it works, and it doesn't work for you, go complain
to them, not me.
I have put a new Windows installer for mspgcc on the web site. mspgcc
hasn't been changing much lately, so there isn't a lot of new stuff in
this. However, it has:
GCC updated from 3.2.2 to 3.2.3
GCC patched to work around the mmap memory allocation problem that was
causing crashes.
I hope the giveio install now works OK on NT 4.0, but I am unable to try
it (I have no NT 4.0 machine available).
gdbproxy is now built with an updated library from TI.
Uninstall now works. However, I get an oddity on Win98. Sometimes it
removes the whole thing. Sometimes it leave an empty c:\mspgcc\bin
directory behind. I don't know if this is a quirk of the installer
softawre (NSIS) or something wrong in my script. Anyway, this seems a
minor issue.
I have been running this stuff today on a Win98 and a WinXP machine,
working with a fairly large project (by MCU standards :-) ). Both
machines seem to be building and debugging OK. If anyone has trouble,
please let me know.
The target platforms for this release are Win98, WinMe, Win NT 4.0, Win
2000 and WinXP.
Regards,
Steve
