Caanoo / WIZ Openwiz Toolchain Questions

[NeoGML]

Hi...

is the openwiz toolchain compatible w/ leopard/mac os x?

i've downloaded the toolchain from the gp2xwiz file archive (the 222MB library)... how exactly do you install it?

is there like a tarball that i can download somewhere so i can do a build and then do a make install or something?

thanks,

thanks,

it a prebuilt gcc toolchain for linux, and you use tar to extract it.

I'm guessing it's the makefile that determines which gcc to use, but do I have to add something to $PATH to get it to work?

A makefile is a script in a sense. The $PATH enviroment variable is used by the shell to look for the binaries you call. So normally you add the path of where your copy of gcc is, so when you call it on your command line it can be found and run

For the most part, it a common path, really just a variable. It should be $(PREFIX)/bin/"somthing"-gcc

Alright, thanks a lot, Pickle! Really appreciate it!

hmm...

okay, so i tried to copy the entire arm-openwiz-linux-gnu to my /usr/local and i had some problems.

i get this:

QUOTE
cp: arm-openwiz-linux-gnu//sys-root/usr/lib/terminfo/N/ncr260vt300wpp: Too many levels of symbolic links
cp: arm-openwiz-linux-gnu//sys-root/usr/share/terminfo/N/ncr260vt300wpp: Too many levels of symbolic links


....

any ideas?

i tried copying it to /opt/ and it more or less did the same thing...

also, when i untar it, i get the arm-openwiz-linux-gnu folder with another arm-openwiz-linux-gnu folder inside of it... should i copy the topmost directory or should i only copy the stuff inside it?

thanks for your patience...

okay...

so i was able to install it in the /opt/ directory (looked at the wiki) but i can't execute any of the compilers themselves..

cannot execute binary file is what i get.. maybe it's b/c it's OS X?

i dunno...
