Linux binary distribution not available

[pbrier]

Make a linux binary distribution available, optionally including correct GCC version, as the MSPGCC version in most major linux distributions is outdated and incompatible.

A temporary solution is the download here:
https://github.com/downloads/energia/Energia/energia-0101e0007-beta-linux.tgz

It is a build version of the Energia software, and source code of GCC. The GCC compiler needs to be build with
build-mspgcc in the hardware/tools folder (as root).

A final solution would be to include a compiled GCC for the various architectures (32/64 bit, ARM, etc.).

After first installing missing dependency "texinfo" and following the info here: http://blog.onaclovtech.com/2012/07/energia-setup.html using LinuxMint 12, When trying to compile using Energia (running as root) I get the following error: Cannot run program "msp430-G++": java.io.IOException: error=2, No such file or directory" Is this a new problem?

Seems the binaries are not installed, or not found in the right location.
As I recall the binaries of the compiler should be in /opt/mspgcc/bin,
And this should be included in the search path in the energia starup script.

there are some items in /opt/mspgcc/bin, but not the G++ compiler:
msp430-addr2line msp430-gdb msp430mcu-config msp430-readelf
msp430-ar msp430-gdbtui msp430-nm msp430-run
msp430-as msp430-gprof msp430-objcopy msp430-size
msp430-c++filt msp430-ld msp430-objdump msp430-strings
msp430-elfedit msp430-ld.bfd msp430-ranlib msp430-strip

I installed mspgcc from synaptic since 'find' could not locate msp430-g++ on my machine, even after running the build script. I then added /usr/bin (where msp430-g++ is located) to the energia start script. When I try to compile the Blink example, I get the following:
/home/user1/Desktop/energia-beta/hardware/msp430/cores/msp430/wiring_analog.c: In function ‘analogWrite’:
/home/user1/Desktop/energia-beta/hardware/msp430/cores/msp430/wiring_analog.c:104:33: error: ‘TA0CCR0’ undeclared (first use in this function)

I did a bunch of things and I think these 2 are the key ones:
I have a msp430g2231 mcu.
I added
#include "/home/kevin/PROJECTS/ENERGIA/energia-0101e0007-beta/hardware/tools/mspgcc-4.6/msp430mcu-20120406/upstream/msp430g2231.h"
to Tone.cpp and wiring_analog.c before the first includes and this seem to satisfy the compiler with the 'TA0CTL undeclared'

[pbrier]

you are running into issue #90, with incompatible version of GCC. Please look at the buildlog and see why the compile of GCC fails (probably some dependcy).
