Hi guys,
TI/Redhat has released the beta version of CC6 with Gcc 4.8 (as mentioned http://forum.43oh.com/topic/4500-msp430-elf-gcc-red-hat-version-available-in-ccs6-beta/ )
I was not aware if anybody has tried to compile those sources on the OSX platform.. So I tried and followed this path:
1) Download source files and header files from the TI webpage (msp430-130423-272-source.tar.bz2, GCC_RH_20131206) and remove packages that are not yet supported by the platform (GDB):
tar xjf ../msp430-130423-272-source.tar.bz2
3) configure
cd ../.. mkdir bin; cd bin export PREFIX="/users/xxx/msp430/" ../sources/tools/configure --prefix=$PREFIX --target=msp430-elf --disable-werror
the --disable-werror surpresses warnings from clang
4) make
make make install
5) headers
extract header files to your installation directory
Note that I haven't checked if the produces binaries are ok.
If anybody has worked out how to compile GDB with theses sources that would be great. So far I've figured out that the LDFLAGS must be set to -L/opt/X11/lib to overcome errors that X11 was not found.
