Guyzz i have made an interrim version to fix the patch problem.
I apply 2 new patches to binutils , but i'm not 100% sure that they are production ready , and i cant seem to get hold of jörg.
I tried to build avr-gcc on my Ubuntu 8.04 (x86_64) box. The
buildavr-no-insight.sh script works fine but the buildinsight.sh script stops with the following output:

Has anyone an idea why it fails?
Is it possible to only build gdb without insight?
I've retried it without success, attached the build log.

It seems that they have made the new insight 6.8 , more 64-bit friendly
The script in the first post is now working again , and we have got Xmega support in avr-gcc.
I also updated avr-insight to ver 6.8 , and am also building avarice and avrdude.
Hmm I think I used the script before a year+ ago, but now it "evolved" into something else.
Is there still a script that does the build without any frills ? I don't want Tk, I don't want tex, I don't want a graphical debugger (!) heck I don't want a debugger even ! And I certainly don't want that before I have a binutils/gcc toolchain working.
Has anyone documented the build process for "manual" build from the generic source file + patches ?
You don't need TK , if you skip the "insight" part,it's a separate build script.
You need texinfo , unless you can convince binutils not to build docs.
Avrdude and AVArice , is being build unless you hack the script , as per request of Jörg.

I have avr-gcc and avr-libc installed on my opensuse system. ive tested that im able to compile a very basic program (making a led light up when a button is pressed). is there any reason i should ditch my current setup and install things this way?
and btw, totally new to this =)
Note to any other newbies like me out there... if it fails after running the getfiles and patches scripts asking for a lib from binutils be sure to read the pre-reqs file and install the necessary packages.
I am having a failure building from Debian Lenny (amd64).
The script fails while building avr-dude, the error has to do with yyin and yylex not defined.

You are quite right , you prob need flex & bison.
Have a look in the Readme :wink:
Doesn't it say you need to install the deb packages mentioned in the prereq.txt file. :D
Another avrfreak have made a script that builds avr-gcc 4.3.2 , w. WIN-Avr patches i think
It is untested by me , but the topic is here https://www.avrfreaks.net/index.p...
If the last update to the patch is from 2008 then perhaps you should unstick this link until someone takes over current concurrency in the linux domain.

I would like to thank everyone who has contributed to this effort. The results are wonderful. I had spent 3 days by hand attempting to do what your scripts did in several hours. It looks like everything has compiled and installed properly. I am able to compile and burn images to a 3290p device without issue.
The last remaining piece I have is an issue with avr-insight. It seems to have an issue with tk.tcl not being installed properly. I checked the directories it was searching and found the files there, but no such luck. Anyone else have an issue with tk.tcl?

I had exactly the same problem. As ddd rather than insight is my poison of choice anyway I just did an apt-get on that and used it as the front end to avr-gdb
I have just been building the toolchain (4.3.3) on my WIND , and don't get this error.
I started by building avr-insight , and then the gcc-tooolchain.
The only thing i get an error with is: when i try to start avr-insight , being su'ed to root or another user.
avr:~$ avr-insight
Tk_Init failed: no display name and no $DISPLAY environment variable
avr:~$ export DISPLAY=localhost:0.0
avr:~$ avr-insight
Tk_Init failed: this isn't a Tk applicationcouldn't connect to display "localhost:0.0"
But if i start it as my "login" user it starts up wo. any errors .... But i dont specify anything on the cmd line besides avr-insight.
Ah, that may explain it. I hate all this protection nonsense in Linux (now creeping into Windows too) so just as I always run as Administrator in Windows I always run as root in Linux. Having said that I actually installed and built the toolchain as root so I should be the "login user" for it anyway.
Bingo, perhaps you should note that to download (and even see!) the scripts, you have to be registered and logged in. I always come to get the scripts when I am logged out and look aimlessly for the scripts for about a minute before realising I have to log in!
Hi,
Thanks for this useful thread.
I got an error when compiling with ./buildavr-no-insight.sh on my system: the error is due to my version of gcc installed on my PC, version 4.4.1. I got an error with "const char *" instead of "char *" which stopped the compilation.
To solve it, I added a 'sed' instruction to /buildavr-no-insight.sh before the avarice compilation:
sed -i '98s/jtagDeviceName/(char *)jtagDeviceName/g' ../../source/${avaricebase}/src/jtag2usb.cc
echo "($0) configuring avarice source"
This package contains the buildscripts and the patchfiles , for binutils-2.1.7 (w. the avr-size patch), avr-gcc-4.1.2 and avr-libc-1.46. Skip the get-patches.sh step , as the patches are included.

TopIt seems that they have made the new insight 6.8 , more 64-bit friendly
Get it from here
ftp://sourceware.org/pub/insight...
And correct the version number in the top of the buildinsight.sh script
Then rerun ./buildinsight.sh
If it works for you i'll corerct the scriptfiles to use the new insight 6.8 , but i don't have a 64-bit to test on.
So please report error/success

- Log in or register to post comments
TopWell the file is just 9.9 KB , as it is just the scripts.
I can confirm that the archive seems broken.
I will upload a new version.
But i think the contents is ok.
Strange ....
I have tried to extract the "local" .tar.gz file on 3 different Linux machines (2 Ubuntu , and a Centos) and they are ok.
But if i download and extract the tar.gz file from avrfreaks it fails , the extraction (on all 3).
The strange part is that neither WinZip nor WinRar complains about extraction , of the above file.
I wonder if Avr Freaks have a problem with tar.gz files ???
Could anyone else test by uploading/attaching a tar.gz file ?

Top/home/local/avr is a strange path but ....
If you are using the scripts from this post , edit the scripts , and change the "Prefix" variable. To the path you would like.
Remember to be root or make sure the prefix path is writeable by your user
