[solved// MSYS version prob] compilation & 64bit OS

[protofuse]

hello,

I'm trying to install the toolchain on my new laptop running windows 7.

of course, it doesn't work!

is there a way/path to follow to succeed ?

(if not,I have other 32bit OS at home ;) so....)

I have both the 8 and 32 bit MIOS toolchains installed on Windows 7 x64, both work fine....

What exactly isn't working???

Thanks

Phil

hello phil,

following the one I always followed : http://www.midibox.org/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=windows_toolchain_quickstart

Small Device C Compiler, no problem!

but MSYS gives that:

C:\msys\1.0\postinstall>..\bin\sh.exe pi.sh

 	0 [main] us 0 init_cheap: VirtualAlloc pointer is null, Win32 error 487

AllocationBase 0x0, BaseAddress 0x71110000, RegionSize 0x180000, State 0x10000

C:\msys\1.0\bin\sh.exe: *** Couldn't reserve space for cygwin's heap, Win32 error 0


C:\msys\1.0\postinstall>pause

Appuyez sur une touche pour continuer...

grrr

Ah that explains it, I didn't install MSYS, I just copied it from another PC!

ok, so your advice could be to copy that from another pc too?

[philetaylor]

I would certainly try it... I take it you are installing MSYS-1.0.11 and not 1.0.10???

ok

works fine with 1.0.10

it should be changed here: http://www.midibox.org/dokuwiki/windows_toolchain_quickstart

indeed: http://www.midibox.org/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=windows_toolchain_core

there is the correct one
