[Simulavr-devel] libbfd???

[Preben Mikael Bohn]

Hi all, I am trying to build the latest simulavrxx (simulavrxx-0.8.004),
but I have run into the following bfd error during the configure step.

I can see in the archive that some other people have had the same problem,
but I can not solve it; I have tried to run the configure script in a
number of ways, including:

  ./configure
  ./configure --with-bfd-path=/root/install/binutils-2.15/bfd/
  ./configure --with-bfd-path=/root/install/binutils-2.15/
  ./configure --with-bfd-path=/root/install/binutils-2.15/obj-avr/
  CPPFLAGS=-I/root/install/binutils-2.15/bfd/
LDFLAGS=-L/root/install/binutils-2.15/bfd/ ./configure
...
etc

But they all seem to be complaining about the same error...

I compiled the binutils using
  ./configure --target=avr --disable-nls --enable-install-libbfd

What can I do about it?

Best regards Preben


*** ERROR ***

provide --with-bfd-path=path-to-your-avr-libbfd-files or
ensure your AVR cross-compipler toolset is in the path
\(read-elf is used to auto-detect where your
AVR-build libbfd library is\)

for example, user the --enable-install-libbfd flag when configuring
binutils for AVR or execute make install_libbfd from your
AVR-binutil's bfd subdirectory to install the AVR-binutils version of
libbfd. Observe where the files are installed. For example:
--with-bfd-path=/home/some_user/install/i686-pc-linux-gnu/avr

This will make include/bfd.h and lib/libbfd.a available as required by
this package

alternatively you may just keep your AVR-binutils build files around and
point to the bfd sibdirecotry there.
