Help Building RTEMS for Windows NT

[Paul Whitfield]

Hello All,

I am having some problems building RTEMS on Windows NT.

I have the same problem for release 4.5.0 and the pre-release 
4.5.1-pre3. The following is all for 4.5.0

If have downloaded and installed the relavent tar.gz files
(not the RPMs)

I have followed the instructions in the Getting Started guide, and
seem to get started configure started OK.

The configuration process seems to work OK (see log attached below)
but when it gets the point where checks to see if the rtems compiler
works it "locks up".

This is very odd, because the cmd.exe window scroll bar then "goes 
away". (Like the executeable is a 16 bit app).

The cmd window now will not respond and I can not control-c inside this
window (well I can but it does nothing).

I have everying all the RTEM stuff installed in /opt
I have the / filesystem mounted in binary mode
I am using an up-to-date version of Cygwin.
I am running Windows NT4 Service Pack 6

The m68k-rtems-gcc works correctly if I compile a small fragment
of code.

The output of m68k-rtems-gcc -v is

$ m68k-rtems-gcc -v
Reading specs from /opt/rtems/lib/gcc-lib/m68k-rtems/2.95.2/specs
gcc version 2.95.2 19991024 (release)

Any help greatly appreciated

Best regards

Paul Whitfield
