I came across this instructable and have decided that the whole thing looks easy enough. Heh. I've looked at and modified the provided shell script, but I'm a bit stuck. Code: #! /usr/bin bash ## Get basic compile tools if you don't already got 'em: ## (removed those - have them already) ## Uncomment the relevant line below before running. slapt-get --install flex bison byacc # yum install flex bison byacc gcc ## This is going to be the base install directory cd /usr/local/avr ## Get the source files ## Note: you can get an updated version of GCC if you want. ## This one works for me. wget http://download.savannah.gnu.org/releases/avr-libc/avr-libc-1.6.4.tar.bz2 wget http://download.savannah.gnu.org/releases/avrdude/avrdude-5.6.tar.gz ## Unpack them all tar xvjf avr-libc-1.6.4.tar.bz2 tar xvzf avrdude-5.6.tar.gz ## And start compiling. This takes a while. Go get some tea. # Binutils cd binutils-2.17.50.0.17-i486-1/ ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/avr --target=avr make make install cd .. # Update path, b/c GCC needs the avr linker from binutils above export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/avr/bin # GCC cd gcc-4.1.2/ # note: if you changed GCC versions above, change this! mkdir avr-gcc # GCC needs a sub-directory to compile into cd avr-gcc ../configure --prefix=/usr/local/avr \ --target=avr --enable-languages="c" \ --disable-nls make make install cd ../.. # AVR LibC ## Note: build method changed recently -- much cleaner now. cd avr-libc-1.4.5/ ./configure --build=`./config.guess` --host=avr --prefix=/usr/local/avr make make install cd .. # AVRdude cd avrdude-5.6/ ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/ make make install cd .. ## Now set up paths and we're done echo " ## Added to put avr-gcc and utils in the search path export PATH=\$PATH:/usr/local/avr/bin" | cat >> /etc/profile Anyway, I sh avrinstaller.sh, hit enter and wait. It's all OK, until: avrinstaller.sh: line 25: cd: binutils-2.17.50.0.17-i486-1/: No such file or directory avrinstaller.sh: line 26: ./configure: No such file or directory make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found.

Stop. make: *** No rule to make target `install'. Stop. Bearing in mind I'm running slackware 12.1, what do I need to change/sort/install to get this to work? Oh, the full path to binutils (which is where it all seems to fall over) is: /mnt/hdd2/root/Pseudo/ISO/packages/dev/binutils-2.17.50.0.17-i486-1.tlz
It almost seems too easy but: Code: cd /mnt/hdd2/root/Pseudo/ISO/packages/dev sh <path to avrinstaller.sh>
Code: metheuselah://home/simon root:# cd /mnt/hdd2/root/Pseudo/ISO/packages/dev bash: cd: /mnt/hdd2/root/Pseudo/ISO/packages/dev: No such file or directory metheuselah://home/simon root:#
As far as I'm aware I didn't do anything, it must have installed with the distro. slapt-get --install binutils shows it as up to date.
Looking at the full version of that script it appears that it downloads a specific version of Binutils and GCC, which you've removed; however you haven't removed the lines that would have compiled and installed them, so you want to either reinstate the wget and tar lines or remove the lines that install Binutils and GCC.
Does the error message state it can't find the locate database? In which case run locate.updatedb or whatever your distro names it!
Thanks. It's running now. This is more involved than I usually get - slapt-get --install [package] is usually my limit. Edit: Nope - same problem.
Did you remove the GCC and Binutils install lines or add the wget and tar lines back in? I would guess it would be better to remove the install lines as you already have them both installed from your package manager. Also is avr and avrdude not in your distro's package manager? They are certainly in Debian...
I removed them.

Ah, I see it, you are downloading avr-libc-1.6.4 but trying to cd to avr-libc-1.4.5. If you change the references to 1.4.5 to 1.6.4, and give it another go, hopefully it'll work.
thanks. *fingers crossed* I think it's worked! Just need some components now. /me scavenges. y'know - this roll-your-own compile and install thing is simpler than I thought...
