Hi, I am not sure this is the right place to ask this, but how do I get gcc 4.7.0 to compile as a cross compiler for the Atmel AVR series?
The native host is an x86 IA32 box running Slackware, gcc 3.3.6. I have successfully compiled and installed (in /usr/local/avr) binutils 2.22 and set my path to include the newly compiled binutils (/usr/local/avr/bin). I can not seem to get gcc 4.7.0 to compile; it will not complete the configuration stage complaining about missing packages (GMP, MPFR and MPC). I have tried to cross compile these packages for the Atmel AVR Mega series but the only one that seems to complete is the GMP package. The cross compile did produce a lib file (and install it and the gpm.h file in the correct place) but nothing else would accept that GMP was present on the system. I would like to ask the maintainer or tester of the AVR code to include some notes on cross compiling GCC in future. Any advice on how to get gcc installed as a cross compiler would be most welcome.
