MPC8260ADS and Linux

[Mike Siers]

Hi Joel,
Sorry for the confusion.  Here is the quick and dirty recipe:

1) Install OpenBSD
2) Install the following packages or ports:
     - gettext
     - gmake
     - autoconf
     - automake
     - libtool
     - m4
3) Get and build GNU sed source (installs to /usr/local/bin)
4) Get and build GNU patch source (installs to /usr/local/bin)
5) Make symbolic link from /usr/local/bin/gmake to /usr/local/bin/make
6) Make symbolic link from /usr/local/bin/gm4   to /usr/local/bin/m4
7) Modify path to have /usr/local/bin before other directories

This is my environment and everything works great.  I am using an
older RTEMS snapshot.  I am not sure if you need to use GNU m4
but I know this environment works under OpenBSD.

Hope this helps,
Mike Siers

What about GNU make?  Does OpenBSD include that by default?
