Re: [Mspgcc-users] Building MSPGCC from Source Code - The Build procedure

(a) For a ticketing approach, might be better to create tickets on the sourceforge project instead of emailing everybody with each one. Though I don't know if anybody's going to maintain the how-to for the existing mspgcc infrastructure; my preference is to leave packaging to downstream and just

Thanks for your input. (Note: Detailed discussion of the mechanics of reconciling mspgcc/mspgcc4/msp430x is intended to be held on mspgcc-devel. Please subscribe to that list if you're specifically interested in this topic.) Re errata: to whatever extent binutils or mspgcc{3,4} already supports

I'm not convinced that presence of a single far pointer requires that every address kick up to 32 bits. If near/far is maintained as an attribute on the symbol, as apparently IAR uses a __data20 qualifier, it should be possible to manage things properly. Whether GCC+binutils makes it reasonably

[Mspgcc-users] Breakpoints on EZ430

2010-08-12 Thread Dan Bloomquist
Hi, I have moved to mspgcc4, I like it. This should have nothing to do with the move. I'm using Eclipse to debug. When I have the USB debugger plugged in with a 149 everything works fine. When I plug in the EZ-430 I can do everything but set a breakpoint. The breakpoint usually gets a

Thanks for your help Peter. I didn't realise that the root PATH would be different to the user PATH, so after trying to learn how to work around that, I took you advice, at (c), and tried building mspgcc4, from the procedure at http://mspgcc4.sourceforge.net/ What could go wrong? It's only 3

People will turn away from a product when it doesn't fit their purpose now, or in the foreseeable future. (If I could ever get it built, I might be able to pass judgement.) Errol Kowald On Thu, 2010-08-12 at 12:42 +0200, JMGross wrote: Von: Peter Bigot Gesendet am: 30 Dez 1899 00:00:00

As noted in earlier email to this list, svn for mspgcc4 is left in its legacy state in support of the WASP project. Download either the release tarball of mspgcc4, or clone the git repository. (Sorry if there is still how-to documentation somewhere that implies otherwise. Somebody needs to take
