Hi, I'm currently involved in a uni project that will be using a MaxQ micro-processor to run some simple hardware. Ideally I'd like to be able to write the code in C and generate the assembly code using GCC. To do this, I need to apply the following patch: http://sourceware.org/ml/binutils/2004-12/msg00319.html And thats my problem :) My own background is almost entirely with Visual Studio and I've only limited experience with the GNU tools. I'd like to know if this patch can be used with MingW and if so, if there is a guide to doing so. I've searched but haven't been able to find anything useful. I currently have a working msys/MingW install (I'm been able to build and run some simple hello world apps) but thats as far as I've gone. Cheers, Andrew |

Perhaps you should first build MinGW gcc from source, then try applying this patch and building a cross compiler. This will not be trivial, but the wiki and the mailing-list archives should be quite helpful. |

Thanks - I'll see what "cross compiler" comes up with (part of the problem is that I'm not sure what I'm looking for!). Cheers, Andrew |

To get you started, try Google, and restrict the initial search to: "site:mingw.org cross compile" In your case, you want the reference to "mingw hosted cross compiler". HTH, Keith. |
