Thanks Chris, Changing the "\" to "/" did the trick. Interesting that "\" worked fine in the previous version that comes with the mspgcc install. Here's the problem of using Unix based tools on Windows...
FYI, the make file I sent with the email as evidence of the problem worked fine with Borland make because all it said was this: test.430 : test.c \mspgcc\bin\msp430-gcc -mmcu=msp430xE427 -g -O2 -o test.430 test.c My "real" make file will only work with gnu make. Again, thanks - I was feeling despondent until your email :-) Cheers, Rich. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Chris Liechti" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, March 05, 2004 9:08 AM Subject: Re: [Mspgcc-users] Make problem Richard Willis wrote: > Hi, > I'm running Win2K SP4 and have been using mspgcc-20030506.exe without problems. > I now need to compile for the FE427, so I've installed mspgcc-20040224.exe after > uninstalling the previous version. > > However, it seems there are problems with make as it's giving error 255, see > below (the files used in the examples are all attached so you can run them too): > > ========================== > == using "mspgcc" make === > ========================== > C:\temp\msp430>\mspgcc\bin\make > > \mspgcc\bin\msp430-gcc.exe -mmcu=msp430xE427 -g -O2 -o test.430 test.c > make: *** [test.430] Error 255 error 255 means that it does not find the executable. maybe try using "msp430-gcc" without the absolute path that doesnt look right. (e.g. \ are escape characters in makefiles, use \\ to get one \ or use / in paths. depending on make mode (--unix or --win32) it uses the cygwin shell where the first HD is at /cygdrive/c ... > ======================== > == Using Borland make == > ======================== > C:\temp\msp430>make > > MAKE Version 5.2 Copyright (c) 1987, 2000 Borland > \mspgcc\bin\msp430-gcc.exe -mmcu=msp430xE427 -g -O2 -o test.430 test.c i'm not sure if the borland make understands gnu make files... ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: IBM Linux Tutorials Free Linux tutorial presented by Daniel Robbins, President and CEO of GenToo technologies.
