Regarding the manual - my starting point for this effort was: http://mspgcc.sourceforge.net
There is no obvious link to your on-line manual from this page. Only after I received your e-mail did I discover it. I recommend that you put a link on this page to the on-line manual. The links on this page are to the download area - where there is a pdf manual. When I discovered this and saw the relatively recent date (20031127) - I thought "great, this should have everything I need." However, the install chapter had really no build instructions. At a minimum, a reference should be inserted where example build scripts reside. >yes, its in the manual, see http://mspgcc.sourceforge.net/manual/c1638.html >and >http://mspgcc.sourceforge.net/manual/x1691.html I tried to follow the directions but did not have success in creating gcc. Here are the steps I followed: A - Created binutils: Retrieved version 2.14.90.0.7 from Debian site. tar -zxvf /scratch/binutils_2.14.90.0.7.org.tar.gz cd binutils_2.14.90.0.7 ./configure --target=msp430 --prefix=/usr/local/msp430 make make install export PATH=/usr/local/msp430/bin:$PATH [looks good so far] B - tried to create mspgcc: Could not find "core" gcc for version 3.2.3, so used: "/releases/gcc-3.2.3/gcc-3.2.3.tar.bz2" tar -zxvf /scratch/gcc-3.2.3.tar.gz cvs -d:pserver:[email protected]:/cvsroot/mspgcc co gcc cp -r gcc/gcc-3.3/gcc gcc-3.2.3/ [The description of the copy command in the manual is not very explicit - I think an example should be given. I followed the example at: http://www.mikrocontroller.net/mspgcc.en.htm ] cd gcc-3.2.3 ./configure --target=msp430 --prefix=/usr/local/msp430 make ... Got the following error------------------: checking whether the C compiler (/root/msp430/gcc-3.2.3/gcc/xgcc -B/root/msp430/gcc-3.2.3/gcc/ -B/usr/local/msp430/msp430/bin/ -B/usr/local/msp430/msp430/lib/ -isystem /usr/local/msp430/msp430/include -O2 -g -O2 ) works... no configure: error: installation or configuration problem: C compiler cannot create executables. make: *** [configure-target-libiberty] Error 1 Any recommendations? Thanks in advance. Frank
