INTRODUCTION
This project contains a BASH build script for the chipKIT Compiler for Microchip
Technology's PIC32 MCUs. The compiler is packaged with the chipKIT MPIDE, hosted at
<https://github.com/chipKIT32/chipKIT32-MAX>.
*** This script is designed to run on Mac OS X 10.6 or 10.7. It should also run under
Linux, but it won't build the Mac version when run under Linux. ***
It builds compilers for Mac OS X (Darwin), 32-bit Linux, and 32-bit Microsoft Windows
(minGW32).
PREREQUISITES:
1) Apple Xcode with GCC 4.2 and the Mac OS X 10.5 SDK.
2) Linux 32-bit cross compiler (gcc 4.5.2, glibc 2.11.1)
<http://crossgcc.rts-software.org/doku.php>
3) MinGW32 4.3.0 <http://crossgcc.rts-software.org/doku.php>
4) Other tools: rsync, curl, find, which, tar
Once you've installed all of the compilers and tools listed above, make sure that
they are in your system path. You should be able to run 'which' in a terminal window
to verify that they can be called.
$ which g++-4.2
/usr/bin/g++-4.2
$ which i586-pc-linux-g++
/usr/local/gcc-4.5.2-for-linux32/bin/i586-pc-linux-g++
$ which i386-mingw32-gcc
/usr/local/i386-mingw32-4.3.0/bin/i386-mingw32-gcc
$ which find
/usr/bin/find
$ which rsync
/usr/bin/rsync
$ which curl
/opt/local/bin/curl
Optional:
You may also wish to install growl and growl-notify so that you can more easily
follow the build status as the script runs. Growl is available in the Mac App Store
and growl-notify is available from <http://growl.info/extras.php>.
INSTRUCTIONS
1) Download the chipKIT-cxx-build.sh BASH script from the github repository
currently located at <https://github.com/jasonkajita/chipKIT-cxx-build>. Place
the script in a new directory.
2) Make sure that the script has executable permissions
$ chmod +x chipKIT-cxx-build.sh
3) Execute the script
$ ./chipKIT-cxx-build.sh
The script should begin executing. It will create a new directory (by default named
chipKIT-cxx-master). Next, it will download all of the necessary source code and
begin compiling. You can track the status by opening the log file (usually named
chipKIT-cxx-master.log).
When the script completes, the Mac, Linux, and Windows images will be located in the
zips subdirectory as bzip2 compressed tar files. You will also find the original
install images in directories named Darwin-image, Linux32-image, and win32-image.
