[Tinyos-help] avr-gcc on Mac -- not only for Mac users

[Zinaida Benenson]

Hi,

I'm trying to compile for micaz on PPC Mac (Tiger), and I have the  
standard problem which was already described here. Unforunately, I  
couldn't find a satisfactory answer in this mailing list, and nowhere  
else.

I installed TinyOS using recent instructions by Kevin Klues with  
precompiled binaries for msp430 (this works fine) and avr:
http://klueska.doesntexist.com/installing_tinyos2.html

The famous error goes here:

---------------

-----------------

I checked that I have only one avr-gcc on my system, then deleted it  
and reinstalled (this is what Kevin recommended when this question  
was posted previously). No effect.

At first glance, avr-gcc cannot find the program called "cc1". However:

$ avr-gcc -print-prog-name=cc1
/stow/repository/avr-tinyos/bin/../libexec/gcc/avr/4.1.2/cc1

To compare:

$ msp430-gcc -print-prog-name=cc1
/stow/bin/../lib/gcc-lib/msp430/3.2.3/cc1

It can be seen that msp430-gcc was built using gcc 3.2.3, but avr-gcc  
uses gcc 4.1.2.

The only solution I could think of was to try and build avr-gcc using  
gcc 3.2.3. However, before I go to such trouble, I would like to hear  
what you think of this idea, and probably you can suggest something  
else (even if you are not a Mac user).

Cheers
Zinaida
