I've tried the cygwin option... I compiled gcc and binutils fine.. when I tried to compile a .c file, it gave me an error about not finding crt0.o. I tried creating one using arm-elf-as on arm7.s, and that seemed to work, but now I get this error:

$ arm-elf-gcc test2.c
/tools/H-i686-pc-cygwin/arm-elf/bin/ld: cannot find -lc
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

I think I'm over spending hours trying to get this to work. Let's go the online compiler way... contact me on AIM at heathco98 or ICQ at 43405666
