[En-Nut-Discussion] Can't correctly build NutOS 4.8.9 on Fedora 14 for Ethernut 2.1b

Hi Harald,

Because of the 'usual' avr-gcc mess (one never clearly knows what 
patches are required to build a working compilation chain and many 
packaged compilation chain were not built with the required patchees), I 
was used to build it from WinAVR included patches... Now Atmel ships Avr 
Studio 5 with avr-gcc binaries and because of the GPL they setup a 
website where one is supposed to be able to get the patches.

It does not work either: the compilation breaks reporting absolute paths 
instead of relative ones ;-) :

I try running NutConf with absolute path from /home/bernard/ethernut or 
/home/bernard/ethernut/nut.

Thanks to strace(1) I see that make(1) enters nutbld/arch . Since 
avr-gcc is launched without any '-I../..whatever_is_needed', it can't 
find the header files. I have added in UserConf.mk:

CFLAGS+=-I../../nut/include

But then avr-gcc does not know what MCU is concerned, I have to add to 
the previous string:

-mmcu=atemega128

And then it fails because 'NUT_CPU_FREQ' is unknown, etc.

It seems that defining that I use an Ethernut 2.1b does not bring in all 
the 2.1b stuff and every define which is target related is ignored by 
the build process. When I define:

-DNUT_CPU_FREQ=14745600

Then the compilation fails reporting :

15:28:53: ----- 'make clean' terminated successfully -----
15:28:53: ----- Running 'make all' -----

make: *** [all] Error 2
15:28:53: ----- 'make all' failed with error 2 -----

Modifying UserConf.mk seems a dead end, there is always something missing...

What is problematic with nutconf is the difficulty to get a trace of 
what tool runs in what directory, what file is processed before running 
make(1), etc...

At this time I still don't have a working NutOs!!
