Package: gputils
Version: 0.13.7-1
Hi,
I am facing problems compiling c code for pic16f88 since years.
In the beginning I was using an old debian 4.0 32bit system and with sdcc I was
able to get good .hex files.
When I moved to debian 5.0 64bit the .hex generated (still with sdcc) were
broken and my programmer refused to burn them to the pic. The same happens now
with debian 6.0 64bit.
First I thought that the problem was in sdcc, but from hints by sdcc guy and
the last tests I did, I verified the same intermediate .asm files on both
systems (the working one and the non-workgin one) mentioned above (except some
commented lines).
Trying to track the problem I think I found something: on my new debian 6.0
64bit system I can get the correct .hex if I use gputils-0.13.4 compiled from
source.
If I use gputils-0.13.5 compiled from source I get .hex files messed up a lot.
If I use gputils-0.13.7 compiled from source I get .hex files quite similar to
the ones generated by gputils-0.13.4, but with few lines different, and they do
not work.
I also wrote to gputils bug tracking system almost one month ago, but I suspect
that nobody is taking care of that bugs submissions.
If you need further informations just ask.
Ciao,
Luca
