GP32 Devkitarm Release 12


If I install this release (devKitARM12), and then drop in Mr.Mirkos SDK (as per the tutorials), is that all I need to get a working cross-compiler on windows, or will I just break everything that works at the moment :)

Aslo, does this have the 'new floating point lib' purported to speed up floating point ops (software) by 12 to 20 times??
 
pea: It's a MacOS toolchain, so best you don't install it on windows!

gcc version 3.4.0 was the first to have the new floating-point library, and it's the standard, so 3.4.4 will definitely have it. For details, have a look at the gcc website
 
Hey Rob,

Thanks for the reply. However, I believe Mr.Spiv has the MacOS version on his site. If you follow the links here, you will find a windows version (exe installer and all).

DevKitARM release 12 for windows is near the top, under 'candidates'. What is a candidate anyway?

EDIT: Not watching shortland street, Rob :D

EDIT2: From gcc website
Nicolas Pitre has contributed his hand-coded floating-point support code for ARM. It is both significantly smaller and faster than the existing C-based implementation, even when building applications for Thumb. The arm-elf configuration has been converted to use the new code.
Hooray!
 
pea: err, sorry about that! I saw the news post about spiv's MacOSX conversion of DevKitARM and thought everyone was talking about that :)

I don't use windows, so I have no idea how it works...
 
Has anyone tried the automated script by mrmirko for compiling gcc, newlib and binutils on msys?
I tried it on linux and it was able to compile gcc.4.0.0 without any problems.
But it failed in windows/msys environment.
BTW is there anything new in gcc-4.0.0?

lots of broken things, kde blacklisted it thanks to wrong code bugs.

the automated script provided by mrmirko is broken (some options are incorrect for an ARM toochain). There are a number of problems building 4.0.0 under msys but the devkitPro scripts work well for 3.4.4.

devkitPro may update to 4.0.1 if it proves stable.
