My current project is targeted at the Hitachi SH2 processor and I am
currently using the
Cygnus GNU tools to compile my source code. The compiler works fine but some
of the
binary utilities including 'ar' and 'make' are a bit flaky. So I thought I
would download the
latest tools, it appears I have the latest from Cygnus (Make is V3.71, which
I know is not
the actual latest). All of these tools run on the PC and target the SH1/2/3
CPU's.

Firstly, can I use DJGPP make with the GCC compiler from Cygnus ?

Some of our application engineer do not yet have SH2 hardware and I would
like to get
them working with the GNU tools. DJGPP I thought !. This will allow them to
familiarise
themselves with GNU type tools and develop software for DOS that will be
easily ported
to the SH CPU by simply substituting the DJGPP GCC with the Cygnus SH GCC
and
re-compiling.

Does anyone know if the above scenario is possible, or am I just asking too
much ?

Any ideas ?

Thanks in advance,

Liam D. Redmond.
