Problem: empty MCU Type list with localized avr-gcc #1

Closed jgeisler0303 closed 9 years ago

jgeisler0303 commented 10 years ago

Just to let everybody know: there is a problem on Linux systems with a localized version of avr-gcc. If the system language is not English and there are translations present for the active language, the query avr-gcc -Wa,-mlist-devices --target-help may not contain the key phrase Known MCU names but the localized version of it and thus the plugin cannot find the list of supported devices. This results in the "MCU Type"-list in "project properties / AVR/Target Hardware" being empty. A reliable workaround for this is to rename avr-gcc to avr-gcc-real and create a bash script named avr-gcc with this content:

#!/bin/bash

LC_MESSAGES=C avr-gcc-real $@

+1 on an arch machine with avr packages. many thanks... I googled about this issue on http://sourceforge.net/p/avr-eclipse/discussion/ and did not found a correct solution (when replacing de.innot.avreclipse.core_2.4.1.jar avrdude did not found any compatible MCUs...)

You can also create a launcher for eclipse on eclipse folder:

!/bin/bash

LC_MESSAGES=C ./eclipse

This should be fixed by merging the R2.4.2 branch from the original project.
