I have just installed the Yagarto GNU ARM Toolchain onto my WindowsXP Pro SP.2 machine from the http://www.yagarto.de/ website. As promised on the yargarto site ("The installer will change the path for you automatically"), the installer changed my path. However instead of merely appending the yargarto tool pathname to my PATH variable, it REPLACED it with this: ";C:\Program Files\yagarto\bin" I was able to restore my old (and admittedly long at 1650 characters) PATH variable using System Restore, but I had some choice words for this installation in the meantime. I then appended the yagarto pathname to my PATH variable using the old method. In short, no lasting damage. I don't know what happened, but I notice that the release (11.03.2009) is only 9 days old. Perhaps no one else has noticed this problem in the last week. Still someone should check this out and fix it if there is indeed something wrong with the installer.
Hello Joe, >However instead of merely appending the yargarto tool >pathname to my PATH variable, it >REPLACED it with this: ";C:\Program Files\yagarto\bin" Sorry for that. I have heard this before one time, but could not find the problem here, and even could not reproduce the problem. >Still someone should check this out and fix it if there is >indeed something wrong with the installer. It is the same as all the other installer/scripts before, I only change the content. Best regards, Michael
I stumbled into this problem also. It is a bug in the NSIS installer. See http://forums.winamp.com/showthread.php?s=af27e53891780bc8fb1ac115528bf7db&threadid=313298&highlight=PATH The Yagarto installation instructions should add a warning about this bug. Otherwise Yargarto is an excellent tool and kudos to Michael for providing it. -Gary
Hello Gary, many thanks for the hint, in the last days GCC 4.4.2 was released. If I create a new version of YAGARTO I will take a look at the installer problem and check the "Large string" build of NSIS. Best regards, Michael
