Compiling relic library (for msp430)

Question

I'm trying to compile relic in order make some simulations on COOJA. For your information I am using COOJA in a virtual machine ( Instant contiki 2.7 ), It comes with msp430-gcc-4.7.0 I ran the following commands ( according to the buildinstrtuctions)

 tar xzvf relic-0.3.5.tar.gz
 mkdir -p relic-target
 cd relic-target
 ../relic-0.3.5/preset/msp-pbc-80.sh ../relic-0.3.5
 make

When i try to make i get this error:

 user@instant-contiki:~/Desktop/relic/relic-target$ make
 [0%] Built target arith_objs
 [0%] Building C object src/CMakeFiles/relic_s.dir/arch/relic_arch_msp.c.obj
 {standard input}: Assembler messages:
 {standard input}:76: Error: Missing symbol name in directive
 {standard input}:76: Error: junk at end of line, first unrecognized character is `x' 
 .
 .
 .
 make[2]: *** [src/CMakeFiles/relic_s.dir/arch/relic_arch_msp.c.obj] Error 1
 make[1]: *** [src/CMakeFiles/relic_s.dir/all] Error 2
 make: *** [all] Error 2

Can somebody please tell me how to fix this problem. Thanks.

Can somebody please explain this line

"Run cmake inside the target directory, using one of the MSP430 presets (check the preset directory for available presets):"

The scripts in the preset folder call CMake for you with the appropriate configuration parameters. You just need to choose the correct script corresponding to your hardware.
