up to now it worked great with FreeRtos. Now I download the new version into a new directory and was trying to  compile the MSP430 port before I work with my own stuff. But it’s not possible to compile and link. ( gcc, linux ) Think it’s based on active 2.6 stuff ( e.g. portmacro.h ) in the tree. Is it known already?

Hi Peter, I am using mspgcc under win32 (cygwin).  It seems to build without any problems (output below).  I cannot test under linux unfortunately.  Win32 is a lot more fogiving as far as the direction of slashes (/ \) and the case sensitivity so maybe there is something wrong there. A couple of questions for you. 1) Does the V3.0.0 demo project build when unmodified (from the demo/mspgcc directory)? 2) If not, what is the error message?  Can you provide the output of the build? 3) Which version of gcc are you using? Regards.

The new file "Source/include/FreeRTOS.h" has the line: #include "ProjDefs.h" The file being included is actually called "projdefs.h" – note that there are no capitals.  Under Win32 this is no problem, under linux it is a problem. I will add a note under the known issues list for V3.0.0 to rename "ProjDefs.h" to "projdefs.h". Thanks for pointing this out.
