[simulavr-devel] Simulavr make errors

[Micah Carrick]

I'm just getting involved with working with AVRs-- coming from PICs.  I 
just tinker as a hobbyist. 

Anyway, I came across a few problems installing both simulavr and 
simulavrxx that I thought I'd mention in case y'all are already familiar 
with them and can perhaps help me out.  I was also wondering, what is 
the plan with simulavr vs. simulavrxx.  I notice simulavrxx only 
supports a few devices thus far, and I'm working with an ATMega8 which 
is why I ended up using simulavr instead.  Just curious.

With Simulavr:
cc1: warnings being treated as errors
disp.c: In function ‘disp_parse_packet’:
disp.c:818: warning: ‘areg’ may be used uninitialized in this function

Which I was able to bypass by removing the -Werror flag in the configure 
script.  Next, also during make there was:

texi2html -split_node ./simulavr.texi
** Unknown command address@hidden' (left as is)
** Unknown command address@hidden' (left as is)
mv *.html html
mv: cannot stat `*.html': No such file or directory
make[1]: *** [html] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory 
`/home/mcarrick/avr/software/simulavr-0.1.2.2/doc'
make: *** [install-recursive] Error 1

I was hoping to get some help with that one.  The program still seems to 
be working fine, but the documentation isn't built and nobody ever likes 
seeing make errors. 

Next, with simulavrxx I had that same error as is pointed out in the 
bugs section of the website in which the hwport.h file isn't included in 
at4433.h.  But then, I also had a problem with Python.h not being 
found.  I resolved that by changing the include from #include <Python.h> 
to #include <python2.4/Python.h> which I thought was weird.  
Python-devel is installed on my distribution (FC4) through an RPM.

Cheers,
Micah
