PGCC on Win7 32-bit laptop

mindrobots

Up and running on my Win7 laptop.

Upzipped to c:\propgcc but things wouldn't build.

Installed Cygwin and updated addpath.bat to add c:\cygwin\bin in addition to c:\propgcc\bin and the demos all built and cog_c_toggle worked with:

propeller-load -p4 -r toggle.elf

....wonder if they'll mind Cygwin being loaded on my work laptop??

Now, off to fix my Ubuntu systems!!

Happy testing!!

What happened? You shouldn't need to install Cygwin to use the windows package.
There are Cygwin components in c:\propgcc\bin that should work without installing Cygwin.

I believe it was the grep problem as Leon found. A copy of grep.exe would have fixed it but I went to the extreme of installing most of cygwin since you never know when you might want to sed or awk on Win7!!

Ok. Ya Propably could have just used sed instead of grep and cut !

Even though Cygwin isn't necessary it would be good to provide install instructions for users that would prefer to work under Cygwin versus the Windows command prompt. That's the way I normally work. I just copy the /propgcc/usr/local/propeller directory from the install package to /usr/local/propeller under Cygwin. The /propgcc/bin directory is required since this is just a subset of Cygwin's /bin directory. I usually copy /propgcc/demos to my home directory. The /usr/local/propeller/bin directory needs to be added to the Cygwin path.

The only other issue is that bstc.exe is currently in /propgcc/bin. This should probably be moved to /propgcc/usr/local/propeller/bin in the install package so that it's available to Cygwin users.
