Summary:  AVR Plugin problem with OS X

Initial Comment:
I am trying to install this on my MAC (intel chipset).  And i am having a problem with the system not able to recognize the AVR Dragon that I have.  I did find that paths it is not able to find the "ATmel part description files system".  I have just reinstalled the Crosspack.  Is that in there? Am I missing something also?

One last thing, when I turn on the program, I do get the following error:

Description	Resource	Path	Location	Type
Error launching external scanner info generator (avr-gcc -E -P -v -dD /Users/danielbock/Eclipse development/.metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.cdt.make.core/specs.c)	Test_1		Unknown	C/C++ Problem


Any help would be great.  Thanks.

Hi Dan,

the path to the "Atmel part description files" is currently unused by the
plugin and therefore not required. (The Atmel Part Description files are
part of the Atmel AVR Studio IDE [Only available for Windows] and AFAIK not
available separately)

So the problem with recognizing your Dragon must be somewhere else. Maybe
you can provide the console output to see where it is failing.

For your second problem: I haven't seen this error message so I don't know
where it comes from and what is causing it.
But a few things you could try: check that the file
"/Users/danielbock/Eclipse
development/.metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.cdt.make.core/specs.c" exists
and is just a empty file (except for one newline).
Second: execute the whole command ("avr-gcc -E -P -v -dD
/Users/.../specs.c") from a shell to check if there is any problem with
that.
BTW the "Test_1" in the output. Is that the name of a / the Project?

Thomas
