Re: Building newlib for h8300-hms

[childsj6 at comcast dot net]

Thanks,

That fixes the path wrangling I had to do, but I still get the error with reg_memcpy.S

I looked at
http://sources.redhat.com/ml/newlib/2003/msg00105.html
and found that some of the packages I downloaded are already patched and some are not.

Right now I am working with:
binutils 2.14
gcc 3.3.2
newlib cvs (downloaded last night 11/20/2003)

the newlib i got from cvs does not have the any of following in reg_memcpy.S 
(even the #ifdef __H8300H__)

from patch:
 #include "defines.h"
 
 #ifdef __H8300H__
+#ifdef __NORMAL_MODE__
+	.h8300hn
+#else
 	.h8300h
 #endif
+#endif
 
 #ifdef __H8300S__
+#ifdef __NORMAL_MODE__
+	.h8300sn
+#else
 	.h8300s
+#endif
 #endif

so the sections the patch is searching for are not in the files at all.

I got newlib from cvs following the instructions on the newlib webpage. Are there some release tags I need to use as well?

Thanks,
Jason
