RE: [avr-gcc-list] AVR environment on Solaris 10

[Weddington, Eric]

Hi Andreas,

Various comments:

Normally binutils is built in a separate build directory, not built in its 
source tree.

I don't know for sure if you really need to use the --program-prefix configure 
switch in binutils and gcc. The build process normally does that on other 
hosts, but I don't know how it behaves on Solaris.

You do need to make sure that after binutils is built, that you put the 
installation directory (--prefix) in your PATH environment variable. Building 
gcc and avr-libc will need to know where the just-built AVR assembler and 
linker are located.

You have the gcc configure switch --enable-language=c and it should be 
--enable-languages=c. Note that "languages" is plural.

It would be better to build gcc version 4.3.3, instead of 4.2.3. It's a more 
recent version and it's being used on other hosts.

To get support for other devices, as well as a number of bug fixes, you'll need 
to patch your binutils and gcc source code using the patches found at the 
WinAVR project (SourceForge) or using the patches found in the FreeBSD Ports 
project. These are roughly the same patches. The WinAVR patches only patch 
binutils 2.19 though, not 2.20.

You will need to have the GMP and MPFR library packages on your host in order 
to properly build GCC. If you don't have these libraries, they are relatively 
easy to build.

I don't know for sure whether any of the above is a cause of your problem, but 
it might help out.
