RE: [avr-gcc-list] work in linux

[Matt.VanDeWerken]

In gentoo I'd type:

emerge avr-libc, and it'll install the necessary files (similar to
portinstall).

I don't know whether packages are available for other distros, but I'd
imagine it'd be the case. I know that under slackware I had to make
binutils, download gcc, make a cross compiler, then compile the
avr-libc. But it was a great learning experience as to how all the
components fit together. Lucky I did it on my own dime, not that of my
employer ;-).

In FreeBSD all one has to do (as root) is type this line and sit back 
to watch the show. Whatever is missing will be downloaded (its smart 
enough to know more than one place to find the files), patched (if 
necessary), configured, compiled, then installed in a sane location and 
configuration. Thanks to Joerg Wunsch for avr-binutils, avr-gcc, 
avr-gdb, and avr-libc/.

# portinstall avr-libc

The avr-libc port requires avr-gcc so the above will also install 
avr-gcc as a dependancy.

If one doesn't have the "portupgrade" port installed then one doesn't 
have "portinstall". "cd /usr/ports/devel/avr-libc; make install && make 
clean" is practically the same as "portinstall avr-libc".

If Linux lacks an "RPM" or equivalent of "FreeBSD port" for the AVR 
tools then somebody ought to do something about it.
