Has anybody got Arduino to Work in ArchLinux?

Question

I've tried via the aur and yaourt but it spits a load of errors out for me.
I've also tried
http://www.nongnu.org/avr-libc/user-man … r_binutils
but when trying to make gcc i get
libgcc/./_eprintf.o
cc1: error: unrecognized command line option "-march=i686"
make[3]: aurpage PKGBUILD [libgcc/./_eprintf.o] Error 1
make[3]: Leaving directory `/home/firewalker/Desktop/gcc-avr4.1.1/src/gcc-4.1.1/objdir/gcc'
make[2]: aurpage PKGBUILD [stmp-multilib] Error 2
make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/firewalker/Desktop/gcc-avr4.1.1/src/gcc-4.1.1/objdir/gcc'
make[1]: aurpage PKGBUILD [all-gcc] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/firewalker/Desktop/gcc-avr4.1.1/src/gcc-4.1.1/objdir'
make: aurpage PKGBUILD [all] Error 2
I have no idea why it says /home/firewalker.
I'm a little surprised that the word "arduino" returned with no hits at this forum.
It was a piece of piss in Ubuntu but i don't want to use that distro anymore.

Answer 1

I just got the makefile to work at long last! I followed PenguinFlavored's instuctions to install everything but i was still having problems (I get the feeling that since they posted that makefile they've made a few changes) so I played around with a modified makefile a bit (got it from here: http://www.arduino.cc/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaB … 1187984620 ) and ended up with this:
# Arduino makefile - Modified again by Stephen Hodgson
# This makefile allows you to build sketches from the command line
# without the Arduino environment (or Java).
# Previous work on this file was done by mellis, eighthave and probably
# many others.
# Last State: 28.08.2007 | 15:00 CEST
# -- oli.keller ][ gmail.com
# This is a fork of the original makefiles shipped with Arduino 0009.
# It tries to reassemble the preprocessing which the Arduino IDE does.
# This makefile even allows to create an automatic reset,
# like the Arduino IDE does on an Arduino Diecimila board!
# No no, you don't have to push that tiny button again and again... ;)
# You should only have to check the first six variables below for
# propper settings. That's it.
# Detailed instructions for using the makefile:
# 1. Copy this file into the folder with your sketch. There should be a
# file with the ending .pde (e.g. foo.pde)
# 2. Below, modify the line containing "TARGET" to refer to the name of
# of your program's file without an extension (e.g. TARGET = foo).
# 3. Modify the line containg "INSTALL_DIR" to point to the directory that
# contains the Arduino installation (for Arduino installations in
# Mac OSX, this could be /Applications/arduino-0009 ).
# 4. Modify the line containing "PORT" to refer to the filename
# representing the USB or serial connection to your Arduino board
# (e.g. PORT = /dev/tty.USB0). If the exact name of this file
# changes, you can use * as a wildcard (e.g. PORT = /dev/tty.USB*).
# 5. Set the line containing "MCU" to match your board's processor.
# Older one's are atmega8 based, newer ones like Arduino Mini, Bluetooth
# or Diecimila have the atmega168.
# 6. At the command line, change to the directory containing your
# program's file and the makefile.
# 7. Type "make" and press enter to compile/verify your program.
# In TextMate you can just hit Command-R to trigger make.
# 8. Type "make upload", reset your Arduino board, and press enter to
# upload your program to the Arduino board.
# $Id$
# project specific settings

# HINT: If you want to use the automatic reset feature which comes with Arduino
# Diecimila, put the follwoing in your avrdude.conf:
# (Use the systemwide $(INSTALL_DIR)/tools/avr/etc/avrdude.conf or create a
# local $HOME/.avrduderc file)
# programmer
# id = "arduino";
# desc = "Arduino Serial Bootloader";
# type = stk500;
# reset = 7;
# # since Arduino Diecimila the serial DTR line can be used to trigger a reset!
# After this you can specify AVRDUDE_PROGRAMMER = arduino, above.
# On older boards you can manually ad this reset feature. Wire a cable from the
# FTDI 232 Chip's DTR pin (the number differs from package to package, see datasheet)
# to the RESET line of the ATmega. Inbetween this connection must be a 100nF capacitor.

It seems to work with Arduino 0010 but it wants to be run as root. Maybe I'll get that sorted at some point if it's easy to do.
