Problems with setup for Windows

[Kai Schuetz <ks@xxxxxxx>]

Hi !

I downloaded the gcc-arm binary package for windows. First I had to 
figure out how to set up the environment, here is what I did:

set GCC_INSTALL_PATH=d:\ARM-GCC

set PATH=%GCC_INSTALL_PATH%\bin;%PATH%
set GCC_EXEC_PREFIX=%GCC_INSTALL_PATH%\libexec\gcc\arm-none-elf
set C_INCLUDE_PATH=%GCC_INSTALL_PATH%\lib\gcc\arm-none-elf\3.4.0\include
set CPLUS_INCLUDE_PATH=%GCC_INSTALL_PATH%\include\c++\3.4.0
set LIBRARY_PATH=%GCC_INSTALL_PATH%\lib\gcc\arm-none-elf\3.4.0

This allowed me at least to compile and assemble some code, but when the 
linker is run I get the following error message:


d:/ARM-GCC/libexec/gcc/../../libexec/gcc/arm-none-elf/3.4.0/collect2.exe 
-X -o dhry crti.o crtbegin.o 
d:/ARM-GCC/libexec/gcc/../../arm-none-elf/lib/crt0.o 
-Ld:/ARM-GCC/libexec/gcc/arm-none-elf 
-Ld:/ARM-GCC/libexec/gcc/../../arm-none-elf/lib 
C:\DOKUME~1\ks\LOKALE~1\Temp/cccTaaaa.o 
C:\DOKUME~1\ks\LOKALE~1\Temp/ccIfbaaa.o -lgcc -lc -lgcc crtend.o crtn.o
d:\\ARM-GCC\\bin/arm-none-elf-ld.exe: crti.o: No such file: No such file 
or directory
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status


Interestingly the crt0.o is preceeded by the full path whereas the path 
is missing for the other .o files (crti.o, crtbegin.o, crtend.o ctrn.o)

Is there another environment variable to be set ?
Cross GCC FAQ does not help here since it assumes to install from source.


BTW, nice to have binary builds for the arm gcc compiler !
What's missing is some documentation how to set everything up (some 
problem for Linux/Solaris btw). Not eveyone can install under /home/paul ;-)
