Beginners > Little help - getting MS C++ Express 2005 to run with HAM ?

#138408 - daxt trajero - Thu Aug 23, 2007 9:09 pm

I'm a complete newbie and have tried my best to understand what environment I need on my PC to get up and running.

I found HAM, then Visual HAM, which I got running. The Visual HAM people dropped their support and suggested using the free download MS C++ Express Edition 2005, which I've installed.

The instructions I used are here, which I followed. I think they missed something. http://www.pixelproc.net/vs2005.html

Any ideas ?

Added:
I've read through some more posts and it seems I must uncheck the box that says "create directory for solution" which I've now done - and the app seems nearer to building. This time the error is:

Performing Makefile project actions
c:/ham/gcc-arm/bin/arm-thumb-elf-as.exe -mthumb-interwork c:/ham/system/crt0.s -ocrt0.o
make: *** [crt0.o] Error 127

I also noticed I had to go into the makefile and change some of the paths from forward slashes to backslashes eg.

include $(HAMDIR)/system/standard-targets.mak

changed to

include $(HAMDIR)\system\standard-targets.mak
