avr-gcc: No such file or directory - avr-gcc

Question

I have been following the TinyOS tutorial at this link: http://www.cse.wustl.edu/~lu/cse521s/Slides/tutorial.pdf. I cannot get the final project code to compile in tinyos. I'm using windows xp with cygwin and all the latest rpms. When I try to compile the code with "make micaz" I get and error stating "avr gcc: no file or directory found". Here is the code. thanks in advance.

Answer 1

I had the same issue. Had to install avr-gcc from https://github.com/osx-cross/homebrew-avr

Answer 2

avr-gcc must not be installed correctly. Make sure you have all of the RPMs from http://docs.tinyos.net/tinywiki/index.php/Manual_installation_using_RPM_packages under the avr section installed.
If rpm -ivh avr-gcc-4.1.2-1.cygwin.i386.rpm returns that the package is already installed then you need to add/usr/bin to your $PATH.
