Looking for a current binary propgcc version of the default branch for Windows

Hi,

Does anyone have an already built version of the default branch of propgcc for Windows which I can download somewhere as a zip?
I've never built something from sources using makefiles and so on.

Would be great if someone could provide me a link :-)

Thanks,
Christian

    Hi,

    I think these are the binaries of the release_1_0 branch not the default branch. Am I wrong?

    I'll start a build now and post it in several hours.

    Sorry! Yeah, probably... (I thought _1_0 was default, but I guess not).

    Also, you said "I've never built something from sources using makefiles and so on". If your Windows system is set up for development, exec'ing a 'make' from the propgcc directory "should" provide you with a build. You'll then need to exec 'make install'. The instructions for building propgcc on Windows are fairly straight-forward, no? And, SimpleIDE will install recent versions of propgcc executables, if that's all you need.

    I don't have any C compiler installed, only propgcc binaries. So I thought maybe someone has an already built one. ;-)

    I've found that the default branch does not build on windows at the moment.

    The release_1_0 branch builds fine.

    Looks like you need to install autom4te whatever that is. I'm not sure why it's now needed but wasn't before.

    Thanks Steve for trying to build it. I wanted to use GDB to Debug my application and multiple XMM core support. Both are only enabled in the default branch, is that correct?

    This is true.

    I'll look at changing my msys/mingw to see if that resolves the issue. This weekend is very hectic though, so it will have to wait until Tuesday.

    Thanks very much! That's absolutely fine for me to wait some time.

    Hi Steve,

    Did you have some time to look at the issue you had compiling the default branch?

    Regards,
    Christian

    We are still working on it. The default branch had some changes that makes it fail using mingw on windows. I'll update when we're back on track.

    Hi.

    I'm testing a copy of the default branch code now. Once done, I'll post a pointer back here to the package. It will be bigger than the release_1_0 package. Don't download using your phone :)

    Hi Steve,

    I downloaded the default propgcc branch from the repository and installed minGW and MSYS and built it.
    Build succeeded.

    Just wanted to let you know so you don't have to put time into that anymore. You are busy with more urgent things ;-)
