Hi I'm trying to install a microcontroller assembler IDE ( MPLAB ) from microchip
I have untared the relevant (mplabal30...tar.gz) file and cd'ed to the unpaked files directory.
from the unpacked directory i have ( as suggested in the readme file ) typed "./configure" <enter> and then typed "make" <enter>. the last few lines in bash goes:
from app.c:30:
config/tc-i386.h:160: error: parse error before '*' token
config/tc-i386.h:164: error: parse error before "expressionS"
In file included from obj-format.h:1,
from config/te-linux.h:4,
from targ-env.h:1,
from as.h:622,

config/obj-elf.h:84: error: parse error before '}' token

Fejl=Error

this is from Mandrake 10.0 on my big box, i have also tried with the exactly the same result on my notebook with debian. I have only tried Linux for a week so I hope I'm doing something wrong. :-)

Not quite enough of the output ...

There must have been errors above the

Ok, here are more lines from bash: ( I have uploaded the full session "configure+make" at http://users.cybercity.dk/~dsl91020/linux/mplabmake 58kbyte file ). I hope this helps.

"ingenting at gøre for"=nothing to do for
"fejl"=Fail, error

John

Glad to see you're using emacs ;}

Stabbing in the dark here, but you either have
included the wrong version of the targ-cpu.h
in the ./configure process, or the source is
simply buggy ... If your gcc is from the 3.x
series the code may just be on a level of
ANSI compliance that the new compiler
doesn't like.


Cheers,
Tink

Thank you for your reply Tinkster
Well emacs is on the first line among other texteditors, and I'm a little lazy so..
I will post my question on http://forum.microchip.com and return here keep you (all ) informed

John
