Troubleshooting

Unknown opcode `typedef' errors

First, try switching gcc version from the Terminal:

  $ avr-gcc-select 4

If the problem still persists, recompile your AVR toolchain (see below).

Avr-size: invalid option -- C

From the included Makefile, change this line:

  @avr-size -C --mcu=${MCU} ${TARGET}

To this:

  @avr-size -A ${TARGET}

Compiling AVR Toolchain

Install Xcode

Make sure that you have Apple's Xcode Developer Tools installed first. This is necessary to build the toolchain.

Install binutils

Download the newest version of binutils.

Extract the file and cd to its folder in the Terminal.

  ./configure --target=avr
  make
  sudo make install

Extract the file and cd to its folder in the Terminal.

From the Terminal:

  ./configure
  make
