Hi all,
I installed sdcc on ubuntu JJ with:
$ sudo apt-get install sdcc
The installation was successful but the 8051 sample codes didn't compile.
Later I learnt that the include folder was not having all headers [in this
case 8051.h] and many sub folders [mcs51, z80, picXX] were empty. But "man
sdcc" worked fine.
I uninstalled sdcc and downloaded this package:
http://sdcc.sourceforge.net/snapshots/i386-unknown-linux2.5/sdcc-snapshot-i386-unknown-linux2.5-20090817-5492.tar.bz2
from http://sdcc.sourceforge.net/snap.php#Linux
and followed the installation steps given in the tar file.
This time it worked! The code compiled and all headers are available now.
This is a snapshot of find:
$ find /usr/ -name "8051.h"
/usr/local/share/sdcc/include/mcs51/8051.h
I want to know what went wrong with "apt-get install". Did anyone come
across this before?
regards,
Sarma
