I am also using a MacBook (since summer 2006, actually) and have been programming AVRs with WinAVR (avr-gcc). I installed Windows XP into Parallels and use a USBasp-type programming device. It works like a charm and I'm able to use the AVR Simulator as well which is a great bonus. Hi.

(With success, that is...) :-) Sorry for what I’m sure is a dumb question, but has anyone tried this with the STK500 and a usb to serial adapter? (With success, that is…) :-)

Still didn’t want to install though :-( I’ve installed these :

The following ports are currently installed:
avr-binutils @2.16.1_0 (active)
avrdude @5.3.1_0 (active)
expat @2.0.1_0 (active)
gettext @0.17_1 (active)
gmp @4.2.2_0 (active)
libiconv @1.12_0 (active)
libusb @0.1.12_1 (active)
mpfr @2.3.0_4 (active)

but for some reason it just wont want to install avr-libc
when i try it comes up with loads of error, ending with:

make[1]: *** [host-darwin.o] Error 1
make: *** [all-gcc] Error 2

Error: The following dependencies failed to build: avr-gcc binutils
Error: Status 1 encountered during processing.

no probs if you can’t help, just wondered if anyone else has had problems with macports installing stuff :-(

I have installed, i.e. compiled the complete avr toolchain following the instructions in the avrlibc manual without a single problem. This way I can twist the sources, actually I am working on some improvements to avrdude. Presently I use XCode but I will definitively look into eclipse as well. One tip for Alex: Use butterfly as a programmer and the flashing will go faster. And you get rid of the devicecode problems. Best regards, Joe T.

Maybe you can try: sudo port install avr-binutils Cheers, Alex Hi boppyer,

I hadn’t had that problem. Maybe you can try:

sudo port install avr-binutils

Cheers,
Alex

I installed Macports fine but when I tried to install:

sudo port install avr-libc

it came back with these errors:

Error: The following dependencies failed to build: avr-gcc binutils
Error: Status 1 encountered during processing.

not sure if you know what it might be, any help much appreciated.

But perhaps I stick to my Ubuntu VM Keep up your efforts! Nice to see that you switched and did all the research for me developing with my Mac ;)
