My problem is I get really frustrated when something doesn't just WORK.
You download something to what you would think is supported (a modern
Linux or OS X) ./configure, ./make and it pukes. I went through this last
night with trying to build arm-none-eabi et. al. from macports. Now, I'll
try to find the right pieces for Linux instead, since I set up a core 2 duo
running Ubuntu to run Quartus on.
To be honest, though, a lot of things DID just work when installed, not that
I'm particularly happy with HOW they work (I was looking at both Eclipse and
CodeBlocks IDEs). I think I understand now why Eric Smith just uses the bare
tool chains.
