Rebuilding MONITOR program

Post by MikeSt1955 »

I am using a version of the MONITOR program that I think dates back to version 1.77 of the Netburner tools. The target processor is the MFC5272. I have been wanting to rebuild this monitor (I have all the source files) to add a RAM or ROM test function. We use the Netburner tools but our own hardware.
We have had no need to rebuild the monitor in over 10 years. I have a dim recollection of being able to compile it back then without any difficulty. However, when I try to build it today, using 1.99 tools, I get this error message:
...../m68k-elf/bin/ld: error no memory region specified for loadable section .rodata.str.1
Can anyone say what it takes to build the monitor? Or how to deal with that particular error? I am afraid I have no idea how to properly edit .ld files, if that is where the problem arises. I suspect an .ld file because those files are the only place I see the "rodata" appear other than in the .map files.

Sad to see how old these replies get. We are having the exact same problem from 1.7x series upgrades as well.

Anyone with Monitor experience that can help?
