Don't thank me for that cheap win32 build, thank the developers for their work on the compiler! ;-) >> you can follow the same instructions.

I don't recommend cygwin for building mspgcc. I'm doing it with mingw32 and msys. The advantage is that you don't need any special DLLs and the start-up time of the executables is much faster. But you need to patch gcc before you can compile it with mingw: http://combio.de/avr/gcc-3.0-mingw32.patch I have made a small script for downloading&compiling the newest version of mspgcc, so updating the binary is very easy. > Can you please reccomend a GUI CVS? One that integrates with the File > Explorer would be great. The command-line cvs is really easy to use, you just have to copy&paste the commands from the sourceforge project page. If you only want to take a quick look in one of the files, you can use the web interface. Andrea -- WWW: http://andreas-s.net ICQ: 83580609
