Lpc2000

software:
cygwin (on XP)
Gnude
Microcontroller:
LPC2131 (new micros devboard)

I am starting out with microcontrollers and am trying to get a simple 
helloworld like program to compile with gcc but am having trouble. 
I installed cygwin (the default install) and gnude so that gnude is a 
sub directory ( C:\cygwin\gnude )
  but everytime i try to compile a program it gives me an error 
message like
bash: gcc not recongized command or something like that.

I  have used gcc at my university but have never really tried to 
setup a linux/unix like environment before.

Do i need to set certain Paths?  do i need to place my files in a 
certain directory and compile from a certain directory?  
I know this is a LPC2000 group but this is related to getting started 
with an ARM.  Should I post this in a unix/linux group?

THank you
Neal

Maybe the main problem of this is due to the global
system variables that should be defined on XP
machine.such as:

C:\ARM251\BIN;C:\cygwin\bin;C:\cygwin\usr\local\bin;c:\program
files\gnuarm\bin;C:\Cygnus\arm-tools\i686-pc-cygwin\bin;C:\Cygnus\bin;C:\Cygnus\arm-tools\i686-pc-cygwin\arm-elf\include


try this.

Hi Nealbrains

You need of course a path to your cygwin/bin directory.
You can try to launch make from commandline to find out if it is recogniced.

Cheers
Michael

Not familiar with gnude, but the command is most probably of the format
arm-elf-gcc, not just gcc.

Almost definitely.

Almost definitely not

If you are using a Windoze host I would recommend using a package such as
can be found here:
http://www.gnuarm.org/files.html

This includes a setup exe file for Win32 that installs everything you need.
There is no need for a separate Cygwin installation.  I found this a very
easy installation.  All you then need to do is ensure the path environment
includes the bin directory.

Regards,
Richard.

Neal,

Dont know about Gnude. But, if you are looking for gcc
environment + simple programs.. try this,

http://www.geocities.com/michaelanburaj/downloads/lpc_1.00.zip

This package incudes all that is needed to get someone
started with LPC210x or LPC213x.

The source is an extract from arm_ucos port, so it is
easy to move from these sample to running uCOS-II (if
you needed an RTOS later).

Cheers,
-Mike.
