[Simulavr-devel] Trouble building simulavrxx on Darwin

[David Linker]

I am trying to build simulavrxx on Mac OS X 10.3.5. I have already 
installed the avr-gcc tools and binutils via fink.

When I run configure, it goes OK for a while, and then I get an error, 
reproduced at the bottom of this post. It complains about not finding 
libbfd.

I have done the following:
- Looked for libbfd using find, but could not find anything
- Downloaded the source for binutils, and run make install_libbfd, 
which installed into /usr/local/lib. I then ran configure for 
simulavrxx with --with-bfd-path=/usr/local/lib, but got the same error

Any ideas on what to try now?

Thanks in advance,

David Linker

Error message is below
....
checking any likely AVR-libbfd available via avr-binutils install 
path..... no
configure: error:

*** ERROR ***

provide --with-bfd-path=path-to-your-avr-libbfd-files or
ensure your AVR cross-compipler toolset is in the path
\(read-elf is used to auto-detect where your
AVR-build libbfd library is\)

for example, user the --enable-install-libbfd flag when configuring
binutils for AVR or execute make install_libbfd from your
AVR-binutil's bfd subdirectory to install the AVR-binutils version of
libbfd. Observe where the files are installed. For example:
--with-bfd-path=/home/some_user/install/i686-pc-linux-gnu/avr

This will make include/bfd.h and lib/libbfd.a available as required
by this package

alternatively you may just keep your AVR-binutils build files around
and point to the bfd sibdirecotry there.
