Problems compiling in Windows

[yew]

Hello!

I'm trying to compile the avr-xboot but it fails.

I'm using avr-gcc (AVR_8_bit_GNU_Toolchain_3.4.0_663) 4.6.2 and latest git version: alexforencich-xboot-64803a0

In Windows, the first problem, which is easily fixable is:

sizebefore:
@if [ -f $(TARGET).elf ]; then echo; echo $(MSG_SIZE_BEFORE); $(ELFSIZE); echo; fi
sizeafter:
@if [ -f $(TARGET).elf ]; then echo; echo $(MSG_SIZE_AFTER); $(ELFSIZE); echo; fi

should be:

sizebefore:
@if exist [ $(TARGET).elf ]; then echo; echo $(MSG_SIZE_BEFORE); $(ELFSIZE); echo; fi
sizeafter:
@if exist [ $(TARGET).elf ]; then echo; echo $(MSG_SIZE_AFTER); $(ELFSIZE); echo; fi

After fixing the above, a simple make, works:

(btw: where is the highlighted message from?):

c:\code\bootloader\avrx>make

Errors: none

ECHO is off.

However, as I do not use the default atxmega64a3, I will need to use a config file.

I've copied

copy conf\x32a4.conf.mk x32a4u.conf.mk

Note: there's no mention in the documentation that you need to copy the file from conf/ to .

.. then edited the conf file to suit my needs. Trying to compile results in:

c:\code\bootloader\avrx>make x32a4u.conf.mk
The system cannot find the path specified.
cp x32a4u.conf.mk config.mk
make
The system cannot find the path specified.

"Generating config.h for atxmega32a4u"
"1" was unexpected at this time.
make[1]: *** [config.h] Error 255
make[1]: Leaving directory `Y:/p4/code/bootloader/avrx'
make: *** [x32a4u.conf.mk] Error 2

Note, that I've tried any configuration without editing it and I still get the same error.

Now, I'm quite stuck. Right now I'm trying to debug the Makefile to see where the "1" comes from, but it is quite difficult. I would appreciate any suggestions.

Regards!

Update: It appears to work by doing copy/paste of the config file into the makefile.
