Hi, I'm very much a virgin when it comes to building applications from source in Linux, so I may be missing something obvious here ...
I'm trying to follow the documentation at http://mspgcc.sourceforge.net/manual/c1685.html Everything goes swimmingly downloading the tarballs (cool name) for binutils, gcc-core & gdb - until .. ~$ export CVSROOT=:pserver:[email protected]:/cvsroot/mspgcc ~$ export CVS_RSH=ssh ~$ cvs login Logging in to :pserver:[email protected]:2401/cvsroot/mspgcc CVS password: pressing enter when prompted for a password results in cvs [login aborted]: connect to cvs.sourceforge.net(216.34.181.96):2401 failed: Connection refused ~$ then I found - https://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/mspgcc/index.php?title=Building_MSPGCC_from_Source_Code it's first line at this point is slightly different export CVSROOT=:pserver:[email protected]:/cvsroot/mspgcc the login succeeds. The checkout also succeeds. Would it be possible to correct the mspgcc.sourceforge page, so that other newbies like me aren't caught out by it? or Would it be better if there were only one procedure for building this code ? (Wish me luck, I'm about to continue down this slippery slope ...) - kindest regards, Errol Kowald
