Yeah, Dev-c++ is a little tricky to get setup, but once you've got it working it's very easy to use. I based most of the set-up on a document describing how to use it for cross-compiling ARM:
Linking Web page found here: http://www.bloodshed.net/dev/doc/index.html Actual Pdf found here: http://www.bloodshed.net/dev/SetDevCPPArm.pdf That should get you most of the way there. After that you just need to go into the "project options" and click on the "Makefile" tab. Dev-c++ allows you to have your own makefile that it will include into it's own auto makefile. This will allow you to invoke the msp430-objcopy and msp30-objdump utils. My include makefile looks like this: All-after: $(BIN) msp430-objcopy -O -ihex $(BIN) aout.a43 msp430-objdump -DS $(BIN) > aout.1st That's about it... If you get it going, let me know if you have any luck setting up the gdb. -e > erik w. wrote: > >> Hello, >> >> Some windows users might be interested to know that the Bloodshed >> Dev-C++ IDE (http://www.bloodshed.net/) can be configured to work with >> the msp430-gcc toolchain including automatic makefile creation. >> >> Is anyone else using Dev-C++ ?
