Building NutOS on Debian Etch

Please read first the official manual because the following is just personal notes

Be sure that you have installed ethernut 4.2.1 on your Etch.

Go into your install directory :

$ cd ~/ethernut-4.2.1/

I dunno why, but the build fail if you don't copy all this files in a "nut" directory, so :

$ mkdir nut
$ cp -R * nut/

If you have some error messages it's normal. Verify that you have the same files (and dirs) in . and nut/

I know it's not very clean but it will run !...

Edit the following file :

$ vim ~/ethernut-4.2.1/nut/tools/nutconf/settings.cpp

And line 151,18 add "wxT(" and line 151,29 add ")" (without quotes).

Add the same things to lines 158,40 / 158,51 and 147,18 / 147,29

You must have on line 151 something like :

fn.AppendDir(wxT("linux"));

As we will use avr-gcc edit the file :

$ vim ~/ethernut-4.2.1/nut/Makedefs.avr-gcc

Change on CPPFLAGS and CXXFLAGS the option "-0s" to "-02" to avoid the "uartioclt error" on build.

So, now you have something like :

CPPFLAGS = $(MCFLAGS) -02 -fno-dele[.. etc ..]

Now all is ok to build your ethernut libs etc, so run nutconf :

$ nutconf

If you see "failed to load help file", it's not important.

Follow the instructions on the official doc.

Be careful to use "avr-dude" as programmer (see the doc).
