JÃ¶rg has updated the freebsd avr-gcc repos to 4.5.1 and binutils to 2.20.1.

I uploaded a new buildscript here.

Please comment in that thread.

Just tried to build after downloading the latest scripts.

Seems to be a patch error....

So now I have a nice new GCC 4.5.1 avr toolset. (I left out the insight build, I'll probably use GDB with eclipse.)

This looks like a "MixUp" to me.
The extract directory indicates 4.3.4 and the patches indicates 4.5.1

Ahh . Cr...pppp , i think JÃ¶rg (FreeBSD) only have one set of active patches , and they're now for 4.5.1

I'll have to update the buildscript in the sticky to 4.5.1

Thanx for reporting

Updated the script in the sticky

And replaced avr-insight with avr-gdb , as insight is alwaus giving troubles with the patches.
This will be the end of avr-insight in the buildscript.

Ubuntu 11.10's repositories, have in them:

avr-binutils 2.20.1
avr-gcc 4.5.3
avr-libc 1.7.1
avr-gdb 7.2 (no avr insight, but ddd can be used with this)
avrdude 5.10
avarice 2.10

Are these basically the same as the debs and build scripts here or are they missing something? Or are these fine?

They seem to be being maintained by a guy called Hakan Ardo of Debian.

Who knows! (which is the problem). In the past the Ubuntu repo maintainers were crap (worse than Atmel's "toolchain" team!) and hadn't a clue about building an avr-gcc distribution. That may have changed - I think there was a post here recently from someone newly assigned to take on the work and looking for advice.

Meanwhile folks such as Joerg, Eric, Georg-Johan, Bingo know a whole lot more about which patches are an absolute necessity for any particular version of GCC/AVR-LibC so I'd tend to stick to builds they've had a hand in if I were you.

I just got this PM from a gentoo guy.

Quote:

Hi Bingo,

I saw your post [1] and also your toolchain repository [2]. Good work and thanks for making the build scripts open source. I took your patches fetched from one of your build scripts [3] and created a small gentoo overlay for them, they applied cleanly. I built and packaged the toolchain for x86_64 [4].

If you have any gentoo users ,needing gentoo packages , just point them here so they can get a *proper* toolchain for gentoo.

Sorry, but I don't have an x86 machine at my disposal right now, otherwise I would have packaged an i386 toolchain as well. There are instructions at [4] for building from source though.

Cheers,

Chris

So there should be a gentoo build here

Hi All,

There is a problem still exist when you try to use avr-gcc with devices which has more than 64k of the flash memory.

Whole problem is described in the thread:
https://www.avrfreaks.net/index.p...

Is it possible to apply patches from above thread ?

But did you follow the link to the GCC bug report?

http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show...

Georg-Johann Lay (SprinterSB on this board) fixed it in April 2011. So GCC versions issued after that should have the problem fixed. Maybe try one of his 4.7 builds?

What about it? It has its status set to "RESOLVED INVALID", i.e. it is not a bug. Did you read the complete bug report including the lengthy explanation at the end by Georg-Johann?

I built the avr-gcc tools using the script on this thread to build the 4.5.1 version. It built several compiler executables including avr-gcc, avr_g++, avr_c++. Arduino is giving me the following error:
error: Cannot run program "avr-g++":, the manual states a missing avr-gcc-c++ program. Maybe it expects a simlink to avr-c++ or avr-g++? Any ideas?

I seem to have avr-c++, avr-g++, and avr-gcc in /usr/local/avr/bin as you do but the arduino ide gives me the error:
"Cannot run program "avr-g++" java:io Exception:error=2, No such file or directory. My path is set so I can find these files from a user terminal shell why can't the Arduino IDE find it? Maybe it's looking on a specific path but I don't know what that is?

The arduino site says to install avr-gcc-c++ whatever THAT is.
Maybe a simlink to something else?

NB Atmel have a 4.6.2 for Linux (and Windows) available at:

http://www.atmel.com/tools/ATMEL...

this is the same toolchain that is found in the first release of AVR Studio and is not bad (like some of their previous attempts) and has the advantage of supporting a lot of new AVR models like the USB enabled Xmegas and the small tiny4/5/9/10/20/40 devices.

Cliff,

We're current users of 30-Apr-2010 toolchain (gcc version 4.3.4), though we really only use the compiler, not the debugger or loader (we just use avr studio for a bootloader once).

Is there much of an advantage to Atmel's new toolchain to warrant changing for new projects (targets are generally xmega A4 series).

I did see a code space saving:

Old:

----------------
Device: atxmega128a1

-- Damien

p.s. The script and the ubuntu package is excellent. It saves us a huge number of hours in sorting out our own toolchain on Linux. The effort is deeply appreciated.

I wouldn't change for changes sake but if you pick one of the new AVRs then I think this is the only toolchain that has support for the additional models.

ftp://ftp.dkuug.dk (for binutils and gcc) Seems to be down. Permanent or just wait?

Its the getfiles.sh that fails.

I may resolve it for binutils by using this link instead (or?)
ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/binutils/b...

And for gcc link
ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gcc/gcc-4....

Or has it been done changes to the archives that would bring me troubles if using the mentioned ones... I downloaded today, 5.aug...

By the way, if no changes, why not use the above as default in the script?

 parsing file '/var/lib/dpkg/tmp.ci/control' near line 10 package 'avr-gcc-4.5.1-avrfreaks-2011-dec-29-u10.04.i386':
 blank line in value of field 'Description'
Errors were encountered while processing:
 avr-gcc-4.5.1-avrfreaks-2011-dec-29-u10.04.i386.deb

Actually, I got something similar too, though it was on an upgrade from 11.10 to 12.04. The fix is to remove the blank lines in the offending control files (mine were the dpkg cache files over an upgrade where it broke), but it should be fixed more permanently.

Personally I'd call that a regression by Canonical in their dpkg utility. They shouldn't have issued a version that cannot install what were considered previously to be valid .debs

Could you explain how to do that?

Yes, I think the dpkg throwing an error because a blank description line is a bit dumb.

You can use:

ar x package.deb

to gain access to the control and data files inside a .deb and then

tar xvzf control.tar.gz

to (for example) access the control files.

Within that control.tar.gz I only see one file ("control") and to be honest I cannot actually see what's wrong with the Description field in that but I downloaded the x64 version of 4.5.1, perhaps it's different in the i386 one. Having said that I'm not sure what the rules are about "Decription:" (the Debian packager manual will say). Maybe it needs line continuation characters or something?

I'm trying to build an older version for compatibility with Arduino-0023.

//ftp.dkuug.dk/pub/gnu/ftp/gnu/binutils/binutils-2.19.1.tar.bz2 isn't loading, wonder if the site is down?

Thanks, but I need it for Linux. I'm running Mint/Ubuntu (Mint uses Ubuntu packages) and the current version doesn't work with 0023 for some reason.

Edit the getfiles.sh and for binutils use the following

wget -c ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/binutils/binutils-2.19.1a.tar.bz2

dkuug.dk has never worked for me so I have latest year been editing the file with above. I am using mint aswell as ubuntu on diferent machines.

You mean edit the sources? Or is the problem due to a change in GCC since the script was written (IE: the GCC I'm using to compile the tools)? Editing the sources worries me, I'd wonder if I might have introduced bugs into the tools. I'd like to have some guidance from someone who knows the tool sources.

No change that -fpermissive option passed to the compiler. The user manual says:

Quote:

-fpermissive
Downgrade some diagnostics about nonconformant code from errors to warnings. Thus, using -fpermissive will allow some nonconforming code to compile.

On the whole if you convert "const char *" to "char *" it doesn't matter as long as you don't attempt to WRITE through the pointer. I'll bet the code doesn't write and the dropping of "const" was just an oversight.

Is it an error or deliberate that you use the old toolchain ?
archive=/home/ken/avr/avrtools/build-avr-gcc-4.2.4-libc-1.6.7-insight6.8-arch25-fix/make-avr-gcc (location of source tarballs)

The current is this one :
build-avr-gcc-4.5.1-binutils-2.20.1-libc-1.8.0-gdb-7.3.1-dude-5.11.1-avarice-2.12-aw.zip
https://www.avrfreaks.net/index.p...

The older toolchains are not tested against the newer compilers (and their "canonicals" strange way to enforce the fix of warnings) , by defaulting to break the build.

So any of the older toolchains is expected to have some "hands on" , when building on a Mint 12 or the likes.

Ohh , and here i'd prob just build avarice-2.12 , instead of 2.10 , and maybe the new avrdude 5.11.1

It has to be the compiler & avr-libc that has to be "old" , not the support programs or ?

Well the whole thing started because I'm working on a contract project that started out using Arduino-0023. I saved my source code and the Arduino IDE environment when I upgraded my computer to the latest version of the OS (went from Linux Mint 9 LTS to Mint 13 LTS ... both were 64 bit). What I forgot was that the Arduino Linux IDE didn't come with the avrtools. I had simply used the avr-gcc and related packages from the repository. This worked with the older toolset, but Arduino-0023 seems to have syntax problems with the latest version of GCC. So I'm trying to build the older tools from source.

I may just have to change my project source code to use the newer Arduino IDE. That my actually be easy to do, but the project is now at a state where I'd rather not change too many things at once to avoid some back sliding....

The whole thing stinks of Windows DLL Hell....Deja-vu all over again!

I would have thought so. Are the errors anything to do with "const" in the presence of PROGMEM by any chance?

The older TC 2.4

Patches included (afaik they're not in the script in "original" post in the front) , but this one hasn't got the avarice patch (so it'll break somewhere i think).

Thanks Bingo. Didn't get to try it at home, but it just built fine here in the office. A bit scary with all the warnings being spit out, mostly not strict type checking stuff though. Seems to work fine though.
