[Mspgcc-users] Which version of GCC should I use for compiling mspgcc ?

[Ashish Shukla आशीष शुक्ल]

Hi,

I've just received a TI MSP430 eZ430-F2013 evaluation board, and I
wanted to try developing something for it. And, since I don't use
non-free software (except BIOS on my PC), I prefer using
mspgcc. I'm using gcc since past 4-5 years, but never tried building
GCC cross-compiler. I'm running Fedora 7 (amd64). I wanted to build
the complete toolchain myself. So could someone tell me which version
of GCC should I use. On http://mspgcc.sf.net/, GCC v.3.2.3 is
mentioned. So should I use that or later version can be used. I've
grepped through the module "gcc" hosted in CVSROOT of "mspgcc" project
for "2013" and found following occurences:

-- begin output --
gcc/gcc-3.3/gcc/config/msp430/t-msp430:    mmcu?msp1=mmcu?msp430x2003  
mmcu?msp1=mmcu?msp430x2013 \
gcc/gcc-3.3/gcc/config/msp430/msp430.c:  {"msp430x2013",  MSP430_ISA_20, 0},
gcc/gcc-3.3/gcc/config/msp430/msp430.h:%{mmcu=msp430x2013:%(cpp_msp1) 
-D__MSP430_2013__} \
gcc/gcc-3.3/gcc/config/msp430/msp430.h:%{mmcu=msp430x2013:-m msp430x2013 } \
gcc/gcc-3.3/gcc/config/msp430/msp430.h:%{mmcu=msp430x2013:crt430x2013.o%s} \
gcc/gcc-4.1.1/gcc/config/msp430/t-msp430:  mmcu?msp1=mmcu?msp430x2003 
mmcu?msp1=mmcu?msp430x2013 \
gcc/gcc-4.1.1/gcc/config/msp430/msp430.c:  {"msp430x2013", MSP430_ISA_200, 0},
gcc/gcc-4.1.1/gcc/config/msp430/msp430.h:  %{mmcu=msp430x2013:-m msp430A 
--defsym __stack=0xffff -Ttext=0xffff -Tdata=0xffff } \
gcc/gcc-4.1.1/gcc/config/msp430/msp430.h:  %{mmcu=msp430x2013:-m msp430s2k128 } 
\
gcc/gcc-4.1.1/configure:echo "configure:2013: checking whether ${CC-cc} accepts 
-g" >&5
-- end output --

which if I'm not mistaken, means GCC 3.2.3 and GCC 4.1.1 supports
MSP430x2013. I tried GCC 4.1.1, but unsuccessful got some errors. So,
shall I go with GCC 3.2.3 or any later version of GCC can be used.

Thanks in advance,
Ashish Shukla
