[Simulavr-devel] Problems building simulavr .....

[chris pitcher]

Hi

I ran into a build failure when making simulavr; I attach the relevant 
sections from the configure and the make .  ( The swig problem I can probably 
sort out eventually, but the make error stops the show.)

I dug around a bit in the fdb.h file , and found two macros to give the object 
size, one raw and one cooked . I had ideas of trying a patch to see what 
effect it had, but decided I didn't know enough about the software to start 
hacking. So it goes on the back burner for now.

Which is a pity, as I use acr-gcc a fair bit, and it would be nice to pass 
code through a simulator before flashing , particularly for those odd 
occasions when the chip just sits there and does nothing ...... I do get that 
a bit from time to time ...:-)

The system I'm trying to build on is Slackware 10.2 , the binutils version is 
2.15 and I am still using avr-libc 1.2.5 . ( I'm trying to make up my mind 
whether to upgrade to 1.4.3 .... the older version is doing the job, so, as 
they say , if it ain't broke don't fix it ...)

All of which may be seen as  spam at your end. I always feel somewhat guilty 
contacting oss developers with problems, as I never feel I'm pulling my 
weight. I probably should spend more time debugging myself. But then , I 
don't have enough time as it is, so probably nothing would get done anyway.

So, if it seems best to you, delete all above and I'll wait for the next 
release.

Thanks for the work you have put in.

Best wishes
