Hi Matthias, thanks for your reply! I am also trying to build it on winxp. I downloaded and installed the latest cygwin and I was going to download gcc-3.2.3 and binutils-2.18 Then I would get the sources with cvs and compile. On the other side, in the README-MAINTAINER it suggests that a lot of Python stuff is needed... did you install all of that? Did you install python for winxp or a python inside cygwin or what?
Besides, I am having troubles with CVS (I commonly use SVN); my checkout always fails with the following error: cvs checkout: warning: cannot write to history file /cvsroot/mspgcc/CVSROOT/history: Read-only file system cvs checkout: Updating . cvs checkout: failed to create lock directory for `/cvsroot/mspgcc' (/cvsroot/mspgcc/#cvs.lock): Read-only file system cvs checkout: failed to obtain dir lock in repository `/cvsroot/mspgcc' cvs [checkout aborted]: read lock failed - giving up what am I doing wrong? The result is the sambe both on winxp and on (beautiful) MacOS X. Thanks a lot! 2009/3/10 Matthias Hartmann <[email protected]>: > Hi Roberto, > > I followed the instructions in here > http://mspgcc.cvs.sourceforge.net/viewvc/mspgcc/packaging/README-MAINTAINER.txt?view=markup > and was able to build from CVS HEAD on WinXP. > > If following above instructions, the makefile will download the binutils > (and other things) for you. > The makefile downloads: > ftp://sources.redhat.com/pub/binutils/releases/binutils-2.18.tar.bz2 > > Greetings > > Matthias > > > Roberto Padovani schrieb: >> Hi All, >> >> First of all, thanks for the efforts on the MSP430X architecture. >> Now, I would like to build the toolchain on winXP and so I read some >> old posts on the forum/ml and also the brand new wiki. >> On the wiki, the "building the toolchain" suggests to download >> binutils 2.19 (last update 16 Feb) >> In an old ml message (06 Feb) someone wrote the 2.19 is not ready for >> the MSP430X, but the 2.18 is fine. >> >> Which one, if not both, is the right one at present ? >> >> Thanks, >> >> R# >> >> ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ >> _______________________________________________ >> Mspgcc-users mailing list >> [email protected] >> https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/mspgcc-users >> >> >> >> > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > _______________________________________________ > Mspgcc-users mailing list > [email protected] > https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/mspgcc-users >
