really? the avr-gcc-4.5.x in EPEL for instance?
So far as I am aware, only debian and its package-compatible relatives have an avr-gcc package that works. It was made from the same sources and patches used by Bingo. The off-the-shelf version fron the GNU guys does not work. What was the EPEL version made from?
all I know is what this says here...
http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/6/x86_64/repoview/avr-gcc.html http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/6/x86_64/repoview/avr-libc.html
saying "does not work" is not very helpful. WHAT doesn't work? surely the compiler compiles code and generates an AVR executable, is there some specific feature or something thats missing? that I can't tell you.
Apparently the generated code is not correct.
Every so often someone is told to avoid distro versions of avr-gcc, e.g., at http://www.avrfreaks.net/index.php?name=PNphpBB2&file=viewtopic&p=99... Clawson wrote:
You are very unwise to use repo versions of avr-gcc as the maintainers don't seem skilled enough to know which are the important patches to be applied when they build.
Far better to get the results of Bingo's build scripts that are hosted on my website here:
