Setup Error

[Vectrix Quest]

I had to remove the development environment and now am having problems trying to get it resetup.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Did you install the development tools in your Cygwin installation? It looks like it is failing to even find your local (Cygwin-targetted) compiler, or some tool that is required for it.

The most important step in building the toolchain is to make sure you get all of the dependencies right. In Windows with Cygwin, the easiest way to do that is to open a Windows command prompt, cd into the directory with the Cygwin installer exe, and run the following:

Code: Select all

setup-x86.exe --quiet-mode --packages gcc-core,gcc-g++,make,bison,flex,libelf0-devel,ELFIO,texinfo,git,wget,sed,lyx,patchutils,libiconv

By the way, I've created this tutorial / script that aims to make installing the KOS toolchain as simple as possible. I used it to build a fresh KOS toolchain in a blank Windows XP VM just the other day, so I highly recommend you follow it.

By the way, I tried to build a toolchain today on my new Surface tablet using the 64-bit version of Cygwin and ran into troubles while on one of the last steps of compiling the SH-4 version of GCC. I uninstalled Cygwin completely (by which I mean I just deleted the C:\Cygwin64 directory) and tried it all again using the 32 bit version of Cygwin and the build script passed.
