Using a different assembler and linker

Hello,
I'm using the GNU toolset adapted for the ARM processor by Sourcery & Actel (SoftConsole). They have created a separate executable for each compiling, assembling, and linking. In the DevC++ IDE I have been able to add the information pertaining to the new compiler but I don't see where to add another assembler or linker. Please point me to the obvious. I'm using DevC++ 4.9.9.2. I don't want to use Actel's SoftConsole IDE if I don't have to because IMHO it's really poor, but that's just my opinion.
Thanks,
Ray
in general, gcc uses a so called specs file (google) where such things may be specified, apart from that you may want to check out the gcc docs and/or run gcc --help --verbose to see what params are specifically supported.
Hi Guys,
I know this thread is old, but I'm writing just in case it wants to come back to life.
I've seen a lot of references to the relatively simple use of Dev-C++ with WinARM, however, haven't seen any guide for the newest version of Dev-C++. Does anyone know of any new guide or any premade projects (.dev file) for dev-c++ that can be used as a basis for other projects - just to get them to compile and link properly and then debug.
Thanks!
Annoyingly IMO, Dev-C++ uses the compiler interface to the linker. i.e. it calls the linker through teh compiler rather thna calling the linker directly. If this is for a bare-bones ARM target (rather than one running Linux or PocketPC for example), you could use the WinARM tools with Dev-C++: http://www.siwawi.arubi.uni-kl.de/avr_projects/arm_projects/#winarm, which will work with Dev-C++.
