Configure Cross GCC Toolchain Assembler? [message #533084]

Hello,

I intend to use Eclipse CDT for embedded powerpc development.

I built binutils, gcc, newlib and gbd for that purpose. I've configured Eclipse CDT to use the Cross GCC toolchain with the appropriate prefix and path to utilise the tools I've built. I appear to be able to compile and link C/C++ code.

I also need to create some start up code for my target in assembly language. This is where the problem lies. Although the IDE recoginses the assembly source files for what they are, I find that the Cross GCC toolchain only appears to provide for access to my compiler and linker and not the assembler.

So how can I do mixed C/C++ and assembly language development with this configuration?
Have I missed something simple in the setup or does the functionality I'm looking for not exist via the Cross GCC toolchain?

Thanks in advance.

Peter

Hello,

Unfortunately, I got no response to my original posting. However, I recently came across this tutorial which follows the same procedure I was undertaking:

http://embedded-linux.co.uk/tutorial/eclipse-cross-compile

In this instance however, the tutorial states that the Cross GCC Assembler is available in the configuration, where in my case it is not.

Can anyone throw some light on why this might be the case?

I am now using Helios with CDT V7.0.0. The toolchain I am using is for PowerPC EABI, although I believe the problem to be independent of the toolchain.

Thanks for any response!

Peter

Sorry, my mistake; I did not realize I was already viewing this on CDT forum.

Would look forward to someone addressing this.

Thanks

Tool Chain Editor -> Select Tools

Select GCC Assembler then click on "Add Tool" and you are DONE!
