Hi all,
I'm using gcc and newlib for the hitachi H8-300H cpu.
For newlib-1.8.2, i did:
mkdir build-newlib
cd build-newlib
../newlib-1.8.2/configure --target=h8300-hms
make
#make install
******* Bug 1 *******
If doing a newlib-1.8.2 build should be done in a different
directory to the source, then the file: newlib-1.8.2/newlib/Readme
is wrong:
README for newlib-1.8.2 release
(mostly cribbed from the README in the gdb-4.13 release)
This is `newlib', a simple ANSI C library, math library, and collection
of board support packages.
.
.
.
To build NEWLIB, you can just do:
cd newlib-1.8.2
./configure --target=<your target>
make all install
This will configure and build all the libraries and crt0 (if one exists).
If `configure' can't determine your host system type, specify one as its
argument, e.g., sun4 or sun4sol2. NEWLIB is most often used in cross
environments.
******* Bug 2 *******
When i do 'make' and 'make install' (in a separate build directory),
the texinfo files are not installed in /usr/local/info.
When i do 'make install-info', the files are installed. However, i
had to look thru the makefile script to find this option, because
its not documented anywhere else.
******* Bug 3 *******
Because there is no entry for the h8300-hms in newlib-1.8.2/libgloss,
then the info: newlib-1.8.2/libgloss/doc/porting.texi doesn't get
installed.
Porting.texi looks like it has all the information i've been looking
for to do board-support packages etc.
******* Feature Request *******
Is there any chance of someone having or doing a board-support addition
for the h8300-hms pleeeease ?
TIA
