I have tried posting about the pre-built tools for Win32-cygwin before,
however, I think the person I was talking to was too frustrated by then to
try it.
If you head over to the hitachi web site, they have a link for third party
compilers. They happen to have a pre-built cygwin version of GCC (2.95 I
believe). This is a good option for people (like myself) that have never
been able to compile a complete toolchain/compiler from the sources.
Now, I did have to monkey around with the file names. Originally, I just
changed the Makefile to use the prefix h8300-hms instead of the default...
but since I am constantly downloading the latest BrickOS sources, I opted to
rename the .exe files to h8300-hitachi-hms...
Here is the link to the file:
http://semiconductor.hitachi.com/tools/2000r1_i686-cygwin32-x-h8300-hms.zip
Here is the page that the link appears on (note: it took me 40 minutes to
find this page, I don't know why they bury it so deep!):
http://semiconductor.hitachi.com/tools/software_downloads.html
Also, you may need to update your path so that the .exe files can be found.
I hope you are able to get BrickOS working with this setup. Let me know if
you have trouble.
