#define _PAGE_ Setting up an SH-1 compiler for Windows
#include "head.t"
<P>
by <A href="mailto:edx@codeforce.d2g.com">Felix Arends</A>, 1/8/2002
<BR>
<P>
NOTE: THIS COMPILER DOES NOT YET WORK WITH WINDOWS XP!!!
<P>
I have spent a long time figuring out how to compile SH1 code in windows (using
the sh-elf-gcc compiler) and when I finally compiled the first OS for my
Jukebox I decided to write a little tutorial explaining the setup process.
<H2>
The GNU-SH Tool Chain for Windows
</H2>
<P>
This is actually all you need to download. It includes the binutils, gcc and
newlib. The complete GNUSH Tool Chain (currently v0101) is 117MB but for you it
is enough to download the GNUSH Tool Chain for ELF format (45 MB).
<P>
The GNUSH website can be found at <a href="http://www.kpit.com/download/downloadgnu.htm">
http://www.kpit.com/download/downloadgnu.htm</a> (source code is also
available there) and the direct link to the file you need is <a href="http://www.kpit.com/download/elf.zip">
http://www.kpit.com/download/elf.zip</a>. It uses the cygwin dll to emulate
a linux layer but you do not have to care about that.
<H2>
Setting up&nbsp;the Compiler
</H2>
<P>
Install the GNUSH Tool Chain (nothing you really have to care about during the
installation process). After that you should add some paths to your PATH system
environment variable. If you have Windows 95/98/Me you can do that by modifying
your autoexec.bat:
<P>
Add the following line to your autoexec.bat:
<P>
<TABLE cellSpacing="1" cellPadding="1" width="100%" border="1">
<TBODY>
<TR>
<TD bgcolor="#a0d6e8">
<code>SET PATH=%PATH%;C:\Programs\kpit\GNU-SH v0101
[ELF]\Sh-elf\bin\;C:\Programs\kpit\GNU-SH v0101

[ELF]\Other Utilities</code>
</TD>
</TR>
</TBODY>
</TABLE>
<P>
</CODE>(Note: This is just one single line)
<P>
Replace the beginning of the paths with the path-name you chose to installt the
tools in. Reboot.
<P>
In Windows 2000 it is a bit different. You can find the PATH-environment
variable if you right-click the "My Computer" icon on your desktop and choose
"Properties" in the popup-menu. Go to the "Advanced" tab and click
"Environment-Variables":
<P align="center">
<IMG src="enviro.jpg"> <IMG src="enviro2.jpg"> <IMG src="enviro3.jpg">
<P>
(Note: There is also a PATH-variable in the "System variables" list, it does
not matter which one you edit)
<P>
To the value the PATH-variable already has, add:

<P>
Replace the program path with the path you chose for the program. You do not
have to reboot.
<H2>
An "empty" System
</H2>
<P>
First of all, I'll explain what to do to compile an "empty" system. It just
initializes and calls the <EM>main</EM> function, but does not do anything
else. You can add some code to the <EM>main</EM> function and simply recompile.
It is actually like this: You don't have to care about any of those files,
because you won't have to change much of them (except the main.cpp of
course!!).

And that's it! I have prepared all those files in a .zip archive for you so you
don't have to copy'n'paste that much :). I have also prepared a package with
the LCDv2 code Bj<EFBFBD>rn wrote (ready to compile with Windows).
