<HTML><BODY>Hi Ralf, Nicolas,<br>
<br>
I was the original author of that page, and I apologize for the inconsistencies with respect to the FHS and RTEMS convention. My approach to naming is historical, in that it is how I have been doing it, and I can't remember how or when I got it wrong. Of course, that doesn't matter for the here and now.<br>
<br>
Ralf, I've fixed these errors on the aforementioned wiki page.<br>
<br>
Nicolas, I again apologize for any confusion I have caused.<br>
<br>
As to the "OS-independent" assertion, that certainly _should_ be true. However, I did find some differences between building on Cygwin and Gentoo Linux when I started this on Ubuntu. Issues such as the texinfo, broken C compiler, and installation of the BSP seemed interesting enough that others could benefit from a wiki page. I fixed the C compiler myself, but the other two issues I got help from the mailing list. In the interest of helping others who might encounter the same issues, I wrote the wiki page.<br>
<br>
Take care,<br>
Bob<br>
