the GDB debug tool).
NOTE Since Moxa’s tool chain places a specially designed Makefile in the directory
/tmp/example/hello, be sure to type the #make command from within that directory. This
special Makefile uses the mxscale-gcc compiler to compile the hello.c source code for the Xscale
environment. If you type the #make command from within any other directory, Linux will use
the x86 compiler (for example, cc or gcc).
Refer to Chapter 5 to see a Makefile example.
Uploading and Running the “Hello” Program
