Make sure you have Xcode installed (for GCC et al)


Download the toolchain and bunutils:  
[[Category:Projects]]
$ git clone git://mspgcc4.git.sourceforge.net/gitroot/mspgcc4/mspgcc4
 
Fix to use Curl and current binutils version:
Change line 65 of <code>mspgcc4/do-binutils.sh<code>: substitute 'wget -c' for 'curl -O' (that's a capital letter o).
Change line 136 in <code>mspgcc4/buildgcc.pl<code> to: $BINUTILS_VERSION = "2.21.1";

This page documents Flux's attempt to get the TI LaunchPad working on a MacBook Air running Mac OS X Lion 10.7.2. This is in preparation for development of HackSat1.

After trying to get GCC compiled for a couple of hours I came across http://osx-launchpad.blogspot.com - which just seems to work. The TI Mac page is also handy if you want to use VMs on your Mac.

Thanks to Morris for providing the LaunchPad (he bought several MSP430 dev kits for the space).
