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.
