Hello, all. To cut to the quick, basically, I need help setting up a C compiler with PN2. Here's the whole story...
I really want to get into programming AVR microcontrollers, so I figured that I'd need to learn C first (I'm using the Kernighan & Ritchie book). I went ahead and installed the latest WinAVR package, which includes PN2, but my problem is that PN2 didn't come with a C compiler to compile small "learning" programs for DOS/Win...
It was suggested that I install Dev-C++ v4, since it comes with a compiler that allows you to create .EXE files that can be run from DOS/Win. I did that, and it works great for all of the "practice" programs that I've been writing to help me learn C, but I REALLY hate the look and feel of Dev-C++ (and I LOVE the look/feel of PN2).
So, the big question is, can anyone help me configure PN2 to use a C compiler that I can use to compile the programs that I write from my training book into .EXE files that can be executed in DOS/Win.? It may be a very basic question for some of you, but since I just started learning about C a few weeks ago (I still don't really know anything about compilers, makefiles, etc.), I really have no idea what needs to be done to make this work.
I've tried searching the forums and the PN2 documentation, but I can't seem to find any step-by-step instructions on how to get a DOS/Win. C compiler set up in PN2. If anyone could spend a few minutes to help a newbie out, I would really appreciate it!
Thanks!
