I think you have two problems. first, after confering with a friend, the best value for prefix is /usr/local. Leave of the /src/MSP430. This will place the executables in /usr/local/bin and they will be available without modifying your bash path. regarding the compiler error. It sounds like your copying didn't work properly. I have had success as follows. 1 download the binutils package to /usr/local/MSP430. 2 at /usr/local/MSP430, mkdir binutils. 3 cd binutils. 4 tar --bzip2 -xf binutils-2.11.tar.bz2. 5 cd .. 6 rename the directory binutils to bbinutils. 7 cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonym...@cvs.mspgcc.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/mspgcc co binutils I use mc to do the next part 8 in the left pane, enter bbinutils. in the right pane enter binutils (created by the CVS checkout) 9 manually move the files from the binutils(CVS) directory onto the files/directories in the bbinutils pane. I use move to keep track of what has been copied. 10 when all CVS files have been copied onto the bbinutils directory, the CVS binutils directory should be empty and may be deleted. 11 now rename bbinutils to binutils and proceed with the directions. repeat for the gcc and gdb directories.
Dmitry, I am trying to build the insight and gdb directories in linux and am having problems. I have since downloaded insight from the debian site and tried to build it. Now I get a message no termcap library found. Any idea what I'm doing wrong? I can be reached at jimbro...@telus.net. hope this helps. Thanks, Jim
