   Hi,
   I have the project of writing a complete guide on how to use msp430 microcontrolers with Slitaz. If everything goes well, the next step will be a Slitaz package. :-)

   The first issue I am faced to, is to compile the compiler mspgcc4. I followed the instructions but the process ends with this message:

   checking for gcc... gcc
   checking for C compiler default output file name...
   configure: error: in `/mspgcc4/build/binutils-2.21-build':
   configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables
   See `config.log' for more details.
   sh do-binutils.sh "/opt/msp430-gcc-4.4.5" "2.21" "http://ftp.uni-kl.de" "build" exited with status code 77.
   Failed to execute sh do-binutils.sh "/opt/msp430-gcc-4.4.5" "2.21" "http://ftp.uni-kl.de" "build" at buildgcc.pl line 248.

   When checking the config.log file, I do not see any relevant point:

   root@slitaz:/mspgcc4# cat build/binutils-2.21-build/config.log
   This file contains any messages produced by compilers while
   running configure, to aid debugging if configure makes a mistake.

   It was created by configure, which was
   generated by GNU Autoconf 2.64. Invocation command line was

   $ /mspgcc4/build/binutils-2.21-build/../binutils-2.21/configure --prefix=/opt/msp430-gcc-4.4.5 --target=msp430 --disable-werror --disable-nls

   Could any one give me some advices on where/what to check?

   SliTaz has no /usr/local/ directory so you may want to use --prefix=/usr with the ./configure stage.

   Hi totoetsasoeur and Trixar_za,

   @Trixar_za, you correct but I guess he used ./configure since with cook with set all path automaticaly now.

   @totoetsasoeur: Well, you want to make a package! Absolulty great! But you did'n choose the easiest! No problem I will help you make it compile!

   I guess you downloaded the source, extract and then: ./configure ? It's nice and the way I also use to create a new package since you can do ./configure --help to have all package compilation options. On the other side using cook will setup your environment correctly and provide a working gcc since I guess this is just your problem for now.

   I also guess you installed gcc only ? GCC is the compiler but can't do much alone, it needs a linker (binutils) and a main C library (glibc), this is called a toolchain and we have a package called slitaz-toolchain wich is the minimum we need to start compiling. Getting:

   "configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables"

   Usually mean binutils it not installed or corrupted. It can be corrupted if one plays with cross tools and install wrong file by mistake in /usr/include, in this case a reinstallation of binutils usually fix the bug. But sometime it's better to start over with a new chroot. That said, I dont think you corruped binutils (yet :-), just an info! If my suppostion are correct:

   # tazpkg get-install slitaz-toolchain

   And run ./configure again.

   UPDATE: ok no configure in source but you used: buildgcc.pl ?

   Thx Trixar and Pankso,

   First of all my initial post was not clear enough (sorry about that).

   Anyway, installing slitaz-toolchain solved partially the issue.

   What I installed:
   #tazpkg get-install texinfo
   #tazpkg get-install subversion
   #tazpkg get-install gcc
   #tazpkg get-install patch
   #tazpkg get-install libusb-dev
   #tazpkg get-install ncurse-dev
   #tazpkg get-install perl
   #tazpkg get-install git
   #tazpkg get-install zlib
   #tazpkg get-install slitaz-toolchain

   Then, I used the buildgcc.sh script (it calls buildgcc.pl perl script. Does not use ./configure):
   #bunzip2 -c mspgcc4-20110312.tar.bz2 | tar xvf -
   #cd mspgcc4-20110312
   #sh buildgcc.sh

   Now it starts compiling (around 20 minutes on my old P3-500MHz) and stops with the following:
   Unpacking GCC...
   tar: can't open'gcc-g++-4.4.5.tar.bz2': No such file or directory
   sh do-gcc.sh "/opt/msp430-gcc-4.4.5" "4.4.5" "http://ftp:uni-lk.de" "build" "gcc-4.x" "4.3.1" 2.4.2" exited with status code 1.

   I guess something is missing, but what??
   Any idea?

   tar: can't open'gcc-g++-4.4.5.tar.bz2': No such file or directory
   sh do-gcc.sh "/opt/msp430-gcc-4.4.5" "4.4.5" "http://ftp:uni-lk.de" "build" "gcc-4.x" "4.3.1" 2.4.2" exited with status code 1.

   I see reference to /opt which doesn't exist on slitaz by default.
   Maybe mkdir /opt and copy gcc-g++-4.4.5.tar.bz2 into it so it can be found by tar?

   Thx Mojo,
   Actually directory /opt is created by the perl script during binutils compilation.

   I downloaded gcc-g++-4.4.5.tar.bz2 and moved it in /opt , but did not change anything. The same error rose:
   Unpacking GCC...
   tar: can't open'gcc-g++-4.4.5.tar.bz2': No such file or directory
   sh do-gcc.sh "/opt/msp430-gcc-4.4.5" "4.4.5" "http://ftp:uni-lk.de" "build" "gcc-4.x" "4.3.1" 2.4.2" exited with status code 1.

   Any idea?

   Hi,

   I don't know if this thread still still openend. In case of...

   It May be a wget applet problem.
   The script do-gcc.sh failed to download gcc-g++-4.4.5 so tar cant find the file. Try to install wget or change wget command in the script.

   Note after a long time build the script failed with:
   Running ls -ldq "/home/slitaz/build/mspgcc4-20110312/msp430-gcc-4.4.5_gdb_7.2.tar.bz2"
   -q option is not supported by ls.

   line 216 in buildgcc.pl. Fix-it before running buildgcc.pl.
