How familiar are you with unix? Using Linux/FreeBSD only for compiling doesn't make much sense. You should completely move all your developemnt onto unix. Otherwise it may be better to try compile gcc-avr on win32 platform. If you prefer to go with unix, you may use instructions from http://www.kieltech.de/uweswiki/ or FreeBSD port. There's little difference between patches on http://www.kieltech.de/uweswiki/ and Joerg Wunsch's work, beside that Joerg's patches supports two devices more. If you would use something debian based, I have packages for Debian sarge of: gcc-avr-3.4.4, binutils-avr-1.16.1 and libc-avr-1.4.0 with Joerg Wunsch's patches applied. > 3.

If you won't succeed to compile it on windows, you always have time to give it a try on unix. Best wishes -- Alexei Chetroi Smile... Tomorrow will be worse.
