[avr-gcc-list] Re: gcc 3.0.3

Glen,

> For us new to avr-gcc, is that patch for Linux or Win32?

Have a look at the patch, its a source level patch, so get the gcc
source and patch that, then compile it for any host and it will work
fine.

So its for any host, Linux, Solaris, Win32 etc, its the source for gcc
that the patch is for.

Get the gcc-3.0.3 source from gcc.gnu.org

You will need cygwin I think as Win32 does not have any decent sort of
command shell. Or install Redhat 7.2....

try something like,

in some directory say your home directory in a cygwin shell

tar xvzf gcc-3.0.3.tar.gz
mkdir build-gcc-3.0.3
cd build-gcc-3.0.3
../gcc-3.0.3/configure --target=avr
(lots of output)
make
(lots more output)
make install
(lots more output)

and now you should have a compiler for your system.

hope that helps,
