Hello Wolfgang,

 

Ok.  Thank you for the reality check.   Could you please tell me where i can get a reliable toolchain so I can end my frustration?

 

FWIW, I am not currently adding new code, I am just trying to get the existing examples directory to build.  I talked to my more knowledgeble co-worker and he told me that my approach was not what I wanted anyway.  By statically linking to the libraries as

I have done, I am not created a loadable applet which is my main goal.

 

Many thanks in advance,

 

JD

I really, really don't understand what you are actually doing. If you
put your code in the examples directory, then just adding the  binary
name  to the "BIN" definition in the "examples/Makefile" is *all* you
have to do to get it build correctly.

If you prefer to keep the code in your own board directory (which  is
a  much  better  approach, especially if you intend to submit it as a
patch) then just  have  a  look  at  the  trab_fkt*  targets  in  the
"board/trab/Makefile".

Nothing more needs to be done. Really.

If this does not work for you, then  your  toolchain  is  broken  and
should be replaced.

"the last bug" ??? Famous last words.

Your tool crashes  with  a  segmentation  fault.  That's  a  tolchain
problem.  Get  yourself  working  tools  and  forget  about  all this
trouble.
