How to compile with MSPGCC???

Hi,

I’m new with the MSP430, and i just downloaded the MSPGCC compiler but i’m not too sure how i’m suppose to compile files?

ie. what does the makefile do

also i downloaded the TCPIP example from http://www.mikrocontroller.net/mspgcc.en.htm

and i’m trying to compile it.

Any step by step examples would be helpful!!!

using GCC tools is not very convenient for Windows users, once you config the compiler and environment it’s pretty easy though.

microcontroller.net have a lot of info, just read and follow the instructions

I never happend to run it on Windows/Cygwin as the debugger chrashes constantly on the Win98 I tried

Thanks for the reply,

I’ve been reading and i’m still a little confused on how i’m suppose to compile it.

Like when i download the files, it contains a makeful.

what does this file do? Also the set of code i downloaded has a readme.txt and i’m not sure what all the flags do.

here’s what it says to compile the file

msp430-gcc -O easyweb.c -mmcu=msp430x149 -o tcpip -Wall

what does the -wall do?

Plus i get a lot of errors when i try this

i get errors like this:

undefined reference to ‘TxFrame1’

/cygdrive/c/DOCUME~1/user/LOCALS~1/Temp/ccapk7GB.o<.text+0x6b8>: In function ‘HTTPServer’:

i have nooo idea what this means =)

Any help would be appricated.

Thanks

Ok i figured out my problems… =)
