If anyone wants to try out this debian install package go ahead Smile

This binary install is based on the files made from the install script in the sticky.

Dated : 03-Nov-2009
Named : build-avr-gcc-4.3.3-libc-1.6.7-insight6.8-arch25-fix-avarice-fix.zip

Quote:

@06-Jan-2010
Updated the ".deb" install package , w. a new avrdude binary , containing a PDI patch , and a dragon ISP crash fix. (See .txt file in the download site)

A big thank you to my .deb "beta tester" , and .deb bandwidth hoster clawson.

Get the package here.
http://www.wrightflyer.co.uk/avr-gcc/

Note: It installs all files into /usr/local/avr prob. with overwrite.

When uninstalling/removing it complains about /usr & /usr/local not being empty , and not removed.
But that is a known message , and has to do with the files in there not being in the install database.

clawson has confirmed that it only removes what it has installed.

Let me hear if anything is seriously wrong Smile

Btw: The package was build on Ubuntu 8.04 , but clawson tested on a 9.10.

I am not sure if it requires an I686 to run , i think it autodetected my build-pc as a I686. And i'm still searching for a way how to tell the different "./configure" to compile for an I386 Host , but an AVR target.

Edit: You will have to modify your path manually.

Quote:

I have an avr user on my Linux-box for doing avr development , i have added this to my .bash_profile in my /home/avr directory , it sets up the path to avr-gcc.

# User specific environment and startup programs
PREFIX=/usr/local/avr
export PREFIX

PATH=$PATH:$HOME/bin:$PREFIX/bin
export PATH

You can override the architecture for x86_64.

This is the result on Ubuntu 9.10, x86_64.

Code:

damien@damien-desktop:~/Desktop$ sudo dpkg --force-architecture -i avr-gcc-4.3.3-AvrFreaks-01-Dec-2009.deb 

dpkg: warning: overriding problem because --force enabled:

Well if you are happy with it , then nothing.
But i would expect it to lack support for a lot of the new mcu's.

I would have thought you would be pleased
as it doesn't install Tk or tex. Wink

See: http://www.avrfreaks.net/index.php?name ... 548#506548

But the .deb still installs avr-insight witch is a graphical debugger.

@Damien

I meant to force the tools to build using only I386 instructions.

I'd guess that the whole PC "Cpu Range" would run those instructions , and if not you should get a new pc Smile

I meant for installing the deb, but nevermind Smile

Personally, I would have thought few people would be using a non-i686 computer these days given it corresponds to a Pentium II.

Has anyone tried the .deb install package ??

So far i have only heard from Clawson (he tests the packages for me)

Bingo,

I was just looking at HTTP server statistics and the 01Dec was downloaded 77 times so far in December but the 17Dec one is not yet on the scale.

Well then it seems that someone is using it Smile

And the 17-Dec just added the patched avrdude (PDI)

Thanx Smile

Yes, it appears to work nicely Smile

We're going to be using it in an automated build server (TeamCity) for avr code (testing over christmas) - perhaps overkill to many, but it means automatic generation of version numbers, release notes and ticket references.

Our build server master would never have let us use the standard "script" install, but he was more than happy with a .deb package toolchain install.

Are the binaries built with the proper prefix so that setting PREFIX should not be necessary?
Incorrect prefix is a deal killer for me.

What about man pages, are those also installed/removed?

I guess I could try it, but I don't want to have to remove my existing working install first just to see.

Everything is intalled within this path (including manpages)

The "only thing i thnk is missing" might be TCL/TK for mfile.
I didn't set that as a requirement in the package. Embarassed

And you also have to add the path to /usr/local/avr/bin manually.

But then again , something must be left for the user to do.

To test it , just "mv" your original /usr/local/avr

I never have a "real /usr/local/avr" , i alvays rename it to /usr/local/"Date&version of compiler" , and then symlink my working compiler "ln -s "compiler dir" /usr/local/avr" to the compiler i want to use.

That way my "preferred compiler" is always just a "symlink away"

Today we tried to get the the toolchain happening on our build server, but got the following error:

Code:

[09:28:27]: /usr/local/avr/libexec/gcc/avr/4.3.3/cc1: error while loading shared libraries: libmpfr.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

[09:28:27]: make: *** [objects/alarm_system.o] Error 1

[09:28:27]: Process exited with code 2

Which also happened with a very simple:

Code:

/usr/local/avr/bin/avr-gcc -o hello hello.c

It appeared as though it was missing a dependency that was easily fixed:

Code:

sudo apt-get install libmpfr-dev

Which is a multi-precision floating point library. The question is, why is avr-gcc dependant on it? If it needs it, can we include that as a listed dependency in the deb file?

avr-gcc is a cross-compiler.
avr-gcc has to run on systems whose floating point stuff
is not the same as avr-gcc-generated floating point stuff.
Note that "system" includes the compiler that compiled avr-gcc.

Daummmm....
.
This shouldn't happen ... (I hoped)

I'm including gmp & mpfr in the GCC cource (or at at least i was ...) have i FSCK'ed up in the newer scripts ? )

I'll have to check , but yes .. gmp & mpfr are dependancies to GCC 4.3.3

Hmmm....

My buildscript includes those , and copies them to the GCC dir.
Wonder if they are build & installed in another place ??

I'd have thought that this "trick" would have embedded them into the GCC dir.
Clawson did try them out on a "Clean" Virtualbox Ubuntu , and they worked ....

Spookey ....... Sad

I'll have to dig a bit , but prob. dont have the time until next week or so.

but gmp & mpfr is required for gcc 4-3-3 , and apparently you can just install the packages

And if I or anyone can confirm they belong as dependancies i'll do my best to include them as dependancies ....

So just chip in guyzz ...

Hi all,
using build-avr-gcc-4.3.3-libc-1.6.7-insight6.8-arch25-fix-avarice-fix.zip collection I got all the files and patches, but when I run the last ./buildavr-no-insight.sh script, I got the message:

configure: error: Your libbfd.a needs an accompanying bfd.h file.
(./buildavr-no-insight.sh) avarice configuration failed

That's right, no such file under the whole /usr/local/avr or below. I'm rather new at Linux, so it is not my level to hunt for the solution. Both buildinsight.sh and buildavr-no-insight.sh was run as root. The system is uhulinux, a debian-like distribution.
Any idea, please?
Istvan

Afaik libbfd is build along with binutils , and this line should take hand of it.

I currently have no idea why you have the problem.
But i think the bfd.h is made by automake , so you might want to check that automake is upto date.
