<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Ok folks,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Thanks for your helpful (and some funny :-)
information for trying to resolve my problems....</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Eventually I have it working,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hopefully this information will be useful to
someone ?? :-)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Required files:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> from cygnus
solutions:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>
cygwin-b20_1-full.exe
(if you can't find it ask a gcc palm pilot developer they probably have
it)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>
latest cygwin dll update (you
only need the cygwin1.dll but its in the .tgz file)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> from oarcorp:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial
size=2> rtems-base-binutils-2.9.5.0.24-1.i386.rpm<BR>
powerpc-rtems-binutils-2.9.5.0.24-1.i386.rpm<BR>
rtems-base-gcc-gcc2.95.2newlib1.8.2-4.i386.rpm<BR>
powerpc-rtems-gcc-gcc2.95.2newlib1.8.2-4.i386.rpm<BR>
rtems-base-gdb-4.18-2.i386.rpm<BR>
powerpc-rtems-gdb-4.18-2.i386.rpm<BR></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> also required: rpm extractor for
windows (rpm extractor ver 0.99 beta release 5)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Instructions:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>
Install cygwin-b20_1-full.exe
(much nicer install than the new online
setup.exe)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>
Modify path in autoexec.bat to include:
c:\CYGNUS\CYGWIN~1\H-I586~1\BIN</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial
size=2> Reboot
to activate new path</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>
Using rpm extractor for windows extract the files from
oarcorp (IN THE ORDER THEY ARE LISTED ABOVE !!!!!)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>
note that you must exit rpm extractor between each file
otherwise it will extract them under each other (very messy) or you
</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>
should be able to extract to the root
directory</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>
Modify path again: add this before the previous cygnus
addition... C:\opt\rtems\powerpc-rtems\bin</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>
Path should now be similar to:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial
size=2> <FONT
face=Arial size=2>set
path=C:\utils;C:\opt\rtems\powerpc-rtems\bin;c:\CYGNUS\CYGWIN~1\H-I586~1\BIN</FONT></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>
from the latest cygwin dll update extract the cygwin1.dll and
replace the old one.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>
Reboot machine again to take account of new
path....</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>
Hey Presto, the gcc rtems powerpc cross compiler should now
work properly.....</FONT></DIV>
