I want to use the newest version of avr-gcc (8.1.0) for a new project, which is not available from ubuntu's package-manager. So I compiled it myself using the build-script from this site: https://gist.github.com/zkemble/edec6914ba719bf339b1b85c1fa792dc
(I'm working under Ubuntu 16.04, so I set BUILD_WIN32=0 and BUILD_WIN64=0 to just build the linux-version)
After the compilation completed sucessfully I tried to make it available for use by manually copying the output files and directorys as following: (replacing the preexisting files when named identically)
./linux/bin/*to/usr/bin/./linux/lib/gcc/avr/8.10tousr/lib/gcc/avr/./linux/share/man/*to/usr/share/man/./linux/libexecto/usr/./libc/avr/*to/usr/lib/avr/./libc/avr/include/*to/usr/lib/gcc/include/
It was kind of trial and error, maybe some of the path are wrong, but it seemed reasonable when comparing to the old files from the old gcc-installation. avr-g++ -v gives me the correct version "gcc version 8.1.0 (GCC)".
(I use eclipse oxygen as the IDE, so the following commands are autogenerated, please excuse the bloated command) - When compiling my project using
avr-g++ -v -I"/media/Data/Eigene_Dateien/Valentins_Dateien/Projekte/Software/ATmighty/src/ATmighty"
-Wall -g2 -gstabs -Os -ffunction-sections -fdata-sections -fno-exceptions
-std=c++11 -mmcu=atmega2560 -DF_CPU=16000000UL -MMD -MP -MF"main.d" -MT"main.o"
-c -o "main.o""/media/Data/Eigene_Dateien/Valentins_Dateien/Projekte/Software/ATmighty/src/QuickTests/main.cpp"I get the following error: as: Unknown option: »-mmcu=avr6«. (See below for full verbose output).
It seems that the new avr-g++ compiler doesn't use the correct avr-as file and uses the hosts default as assembler instead. But avr-as lies in \usr\bin\, the same folder where as is located.
How can I set up the avr-g++ 8.1.0-toolchain to work correctly? I actually want to try out some of the new avr-g++ features and the default version from the official repository is really old (some 4.x version)
