koji built fine: http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=992757 please hold off reviewing this as the gcc part that needs this may need to use a newer version, due to a gcc 4 incompatibility with building gcc 3 and the crosscompiler upstream work being done on gcc 3 Are you sure you want to ship something such kind of outdated as binutils-2.15? To my knowledge (I have never used it), the m6812 is actively maintained in upstream binutils and supported "out of the box" in current version of binutils (2.19). my understanding is they have kind of a strange development cycle. You have gcc/binuilts upstream that is doing there work, and then you have another GNU project that works on it as well. They have a fairly large patch set, but are maintaining it for the gcc 3.3.5 and binutils, these included new test cases and some things that they call "stability fixed" what ever that means. These are slowly pulled into upstream. I want to look into this more and do some real hardware tests before someone spends the time to review this package.

(In reply to comment #5) > (In reply to comment #4) > > my understanding is they have kind of a strange development cycle. > Who is "they"? Those in charge of the m6812 part of gcc. The group that I am talking about that has the patches is http://www.gnu-m68hc11.org/m68hc11_inst_ptc.php > http://www.gnu-m68hc11.org/m68hc11_inst_ptc.php
/me thinks, this page is obsolete, for 2 reasons:
* the person listed as contact (Stephane C.), is the m68hc11/12 target's maintainer of the FSF toolchain.
* Almost all packages referenced on this page are _way_ outdated.
May-be you should contact him before proceeding with this package.
Yes, I have seen people using the 4.3 gcc, so I am working on building that right now. I will do some tests on actual hardware to verify. That other project has gone though states of being maintained and not it looks like, and many of the important links are broken. Right now I am having issues with getting gcc to compile, there has been some change in the Fedora gcc, and it has broken even the "good" avr-gcc package building. Well, it's been eight months; has there been any progress? Given nearly four months of silence, I'm going to assume that's a big no and close this out. |
