Dear akre,
sorry for the delay. First I was short of time. Afterwards I was struggling around with Vistual Studio Code and WSL. Compiling the binaries for STM8-binutils in WSL means that I have to cross compile them. I doubt I can do that.
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
Hello everybody.
I'm on Windows 10 and I've been trying to install the binutils for STM8 according to https://stm8-binutils-gdb.sourceforge.io/ . It seems that the folder for "/cygwin" is not available under "stm8-binutils-gdb" anymore.
No mather what mirrors I use, the setup of cygwin complains about missing files:
"HTTP status 404 fetching https://sourceforge.net/projects/stm8-binutils-gdb/files/x86_64/..."
Can anybody help me?
Precompiled cygwin binaries are no longer provided. You need to compile it your self...
/Ake
Thanks for that information. However this was not what I was hoping for.
Is there a guide on how to compile the binutils?
Instructions here: https://stm8-binutils-gdb.sourceforge.io/
Find the requirements for building here: https://sourceware.org/gdb/current/onlinedocs/gdb/Requirements.html
And in addition if you want TUI mode you should also install ncurses libraries.
Or compile it under WSL is perhaps better.

What I meant was to compile in linux under wsl for linux instead of cygwin. In any case building under cygwin should be no problem either. /Ake
I made it in VMware on Windows 10, when I run "make" and "make install" as it was told here - https://stm8-binutils-gdb.sourceforge.io/, there were both 2 errors:
The errors after run "make install":
I have just tested on Ubuntu, the situation was the same - there was error when "make".
Did you do as described in the README file? Also check for any errors from configure script.
Yes, I did as it was told in README, and there was no error prompted in "./configure.sh".
It is usually some important prerequisite missing. I just ran compilation of the whole thing on ubuntu 22.10 without any issues.
