1) insure MIPSTOOLS points to your mips tools and/or edit dot.sh or source.csh to set up MIPSTOOLS correctly. 2) insure the library and objects in lib/bo (or lib/lo) are built 3) go to the examples folder and type: make CMD=helloThe above command produces three files: hello, hello.map, and hello.o. The file hello contains the linked and located object code, hello.map contains a global symbol map.
In general it is better to place all of the options before the list of files.
