But most users don't mind skipping past a 'compiling' section if they're
using precompiled binaries, especially when it's all in a linked webpage.
OK. The installation section of the manual now tells you to look for the
building from source code section, if that is what you need to do. I
kept the building from source code section at the end, as I think that
is where is belongs - most people shouldn't need it (OK, they do right
now, but I promise those RPMs will be ready soon :-) ).
The only other thing that i feel should be changed is the doc.txt file in
msp430-libc/doc/ which needs a little updating, the most confusing point
is:
Building C compiler.
$ mkdir gcc
$ cd gcc
$ gunzip -c ../gcc-core-3.2.tar.gz | tar xf -
$ cd ..
$ cvs -d:pserver:[email protected]:/cvsroot/mspgcc
login
$ cvs -z3 -d:pserver:[email protected]:/cvsroot/mspgcc
co gcc
$ cd gcc/gcc-3.2
which doesn't work, and realy made the whole gcc-3.3/3.2 thing so much
more frustrating. Might want to change
gcc-core-3.0 (gcc-core-3.2)
to be simply gcc-core-3.2 as well. The rest of that section seems to be
okay though.
I must also stop and thank people for their help, my development is now
(finaly) all linux.
Darn. I forgot that was there. The old FAQ was there too. I just moved
them to the attic. All the material in those went into the new manual
and FAQ. They aren't maintained, and as you found are now a source of
confusion.
Good stuff. This is what we need. Specfic meaningful feedback to help
improve things :-)
Regards,
Steve
