When binutils-h8300-hms was build and uploaded/installed on amd64, I've rescheduled brickos, which now failed with a different error. I assume that gcc and binutils aren't compatible. I'll see what happens when the new gcc is uploaded. Kurt -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I am not sure this is intended, but I do not object to it at all. Still, I think it deserves a note on a NEWS.Debian file, and maybe even a bunch of extra symlinks in /usr/bin. Also, it uses hardlinks between /usr/h8300-hitachi-coff/bin and the stuff in /usr/bin, which is really not a good idea as explained by linitan. Can you make them symlinks? I have the current packages built, and I will wait your reply to the questions above before either uploading, or rebuilding from new packages. The h8300-hitachi-as and -ld tested ok against the stuff I have here, btw, producing byte-identical binaries to what they were expected to. -- "One disk to rule them all, One disk to find them.

However, I've just prepared a new version, which should hopefully fix all the problems; it still provides the directory /usr/binutils-h8300-hms/ and such it is not entirely lintian/linda-clean, but at the moment I wouldn't dare moving this directory as I've got no idea what a proper place would be and I'm too afraid that this changed would break more than it is worth.

But don't rename the packages yet, generate them with the old names in sid or you will get stuck in the NEW queue, and that means *no* chance for Etch.

Ok. You did notice that debian/rules has a special entrypoint for crosscompiling builds, and also one for cleaning the result of that up? -- "One disk to rule them all, One disk to find them.

As such I wonder Some embedded controller firmware out there are h8300-coff as well, so no, Lego Mindstorms is not the only user.

I don't know about gcc, but to binutils 2.16.x, yes, it is worth it. It is also dead easy: get the latest binutils packages in sid, apply the debian/ directory to 2.16.x, and tweak debian/rules a bit to instead of the normal build, do a crosscompiler build. -- "One disk to rule them all, One disk to find them.

Sponsoring gcc-h8300-hms
Hi guys, sorry for replying that late, I've been too busy to do anything about your offers. However, Christoph has been as kind as to upload a new version of the package. I'm still interested in maintaining these packages, but I'm not a DD and thus I've got to rely on sponsorship. Furthermore, I'd like to add some notes: Probably brickos and the Lego Mindstorms Kit is the only use of this and related packages. As such I wonder whether it is worth trying to upgrade to binutils 2.16.x and gcc-4.x, because this very outdated version of binutils and gcc just works for this very special application. The reason for an upgrade is probably #392957, but solving this one some other way might save a lot of time and pain. Thanks again, Michael pgpEe0lNykDLz.pgp Description: PGP signature
