Re: [avr-gcc-list] avr-gcc credibility

[Marlin Unruh]

Hi,

I would like to thank those that responded to my question.

If I understand correctly GNU or GCC is the same compiler that
Linux is built with. GCC-AVR uses specific libraries written for
the AVR. So basiclly using GCC-AVR you have the support of
the Linux programming community, along with those that are kind
(and gifted) enough to support the AVR libraries.

I don't really understand the nuts and bolts of it all, but are these
safe assumptions?   :-)

(cut and pasted for the installer)
* binutils - 20020614
* avrgcc 3.2 - 20020610
* avr-libc - 20020612

Is there a document or HOW-TO somewhere that would describe
the project in layman terms. Maybe it in the archives of this list?
I would really like to know how it all fits together.
