Building MSP430-GCC 3_03_04_00 on OS X

maxime dg

Hi all,

I'm trying to switch from the legacy "peter bigot" mspgcc to the newer Ti/Redhat version. The legacy one installed fine on OS X and I've been using happily it for a long time.

Trying to build the new one using

./configure
make

I get an error.

Question: Do you know if anyone has been able to build mspgcc on OS X?

I've scoured the web and not found any info.

I only read mentions of windows and linux in the product description. But the release notes mention OS X and the old mspgcc supported it, so this has kept me hopeful.

Here is the build error I get:

MLIBS=`/Users/me/Downloads/sources/tools/host-x86_64-apple-darwin14.3.0/gcc/xgcc -B/Users/me/Downloads/sources/tools/host-x86_64-apple-darwin14.3.0/gcc/ -B/usr/local/x86_64-apple-darwin14.3.0/bin/ -B/usr/local/x86_64-apple-darwin14.3.0/lib/ -isystem /usr/local/x86_64-apple-darwin14.3.0/include -isystem /usr/local/x86_64-apple-darwin14.3.0/sys-include    --print-multi-lib | sed -e 's/;.*$//'` ; \

/Users/me/Downloads/sources/tools/host-x86_64-apple-darwin14.3.0/binutils/strip-new: invalid option -- c

I'm on OS X 10.10.2

$ gcc -v
Configured with: --prefix=/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/usr --with-gxx-include-dir=/usr/include/c++/4.2.1
Apple LLVM version 6.1.0 (clang-602.0.53) (based on LLVM 3.6.0svn)
Target: x86_64-apple-darwin14.3.0

Question: I'm trying to fix this but I have limited experience in building gcc, any idea on how to fix this error?

Hello,

I'm not quite sure where your error is being introduced, however, this is the process I've used to build natively on MacOS:

% wget http://software-dl.ti.com/msp430/msp430_public_sw/mcu/msp430/MSPGCC/latest/exports/msp430-gcc-source.tar.bz2
% tar xvjf msp430-gcc-source.tar.bz2?tracked=1
% export PATH=/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/sbin:/sbin

% export LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/X11/lib

% mkdir build
% cd build
% ../sources/tools/configure --target=msp430-elf --prefix=/Users/cgadmin/gmiller/msp430-gcc-4.9.1 --enable-languages=c,c++ --disable-werror

% make all

% make install

% make info

% make install-info

Hope that helps.

Regards,
Greg

Thanks alot Greg, following your steps worked.

For the record, I did run into an error:

(...)
duplicate symbol _sim_addr_range_hit_p in:
    nrun.o
    libsim.a(sim-stop.o)
ld: 25 duplicate symbols for architecture x86_64
clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)
make[3]: *** [run] Error 1
make[2]: *** [all] Error 1
make[1]: *** [all-sim] Error 2
make: *** [all] Error 2

To circumvent the error, I added the `--disable-sim` option to the `./configure` command.
