[avr-gcc-list] compilling libc for windows

[Paulo Abreu]

Hello!

Perhaps this information will avoid someone loosing time and my apologies
for my bad English

%AVRGCC% - avrgcc compiler path (i.e. c:\avrgcc)
%CYGWIN%- cygwin path (i.e. c:\cygwin)
%WINDOWS%- windows path (i.e. c:\winnt)

Note: you should replace this words with the corresponding directories.

1- install avrgcc from avr freaks
(http://www.avrfreaks.net/AVRGCC/index.php)

2-  install cygwin http://www.cygwin.com/

3- download last avr-libc release (http://www.amelek.gda.pl/avr/libc/) and
unpack it to %AVRGCC%/lib

4- edit doconf at %AVRGCC%/lib/avr-libc-20020203. Find ':
${PREFIX:=/usr/local}' and replace with ': ${PREFIX:=c:/avrgcc}'. Save file

5- edit domake at %AVRGCC%/lib/avr-libc-20020203. Find ':
${PREFIX:=/usr/local}' and replace with ': ${PREFIX:=c:/avrgcc}'. Save file

6- run windows command prompt and set path: c:>path
c:\%CYGWIN%\bin;c:\%AVRGCC%\bin;c:%WINDOWS%. I assume here that you already
set environment variables. I set path because I have other compilers
installed (avoid confusions).

6- edit doconf at %AVRGCC%/lib/avr-libc-20020203. Find ':
${PREFIX:=/usr/local}' and replace with ': ${PREFIX:=c:/avrgcc}'. Save file

7- edit domake at %AVRGCC%/lib/avr-libc-20020203. Find ':
${PREFIX:=/usr/local}' and replace with ': ${PREFIX:=c:/avrgcc}'. Save file

8- at command prompt type sh.

9- in sh prompt, type ./doconf, ./domake and finally ./domake install.
    To success this operation you _must_ have writing permissions!

It seems to me that is working fine .... I am waiting for your commentaries

Hope this help,

Paulo Abreu
