RTEMS build problems

[Paul Cadaret]

Ralph/Joel,
Thank you for responding.  
You are right.  My old 300MHz Ultra-10 is not fast... but it is very 
reliable.
You mentioned that Solaris 2.7 is likely to be broken.  
I may be able to setup a build environment on a solaris-9-sparc machine.
What are my chances getting the host-based version to build on a 
solaris-9-sparc machine?

BTW:  Just a note regarding my interest in RTEMS.  I am familiar with 
PSOS as I used it for a few
years many years ago.   I remember when Motorola put out the RTEID spec 
many years ago and I remembered
that RTEMS was based on that spec.  I always thought that PSOS was a 
very reasonable RTOS model and
I thought that I would see if  I could get RTEMS running on an old 
MVME162 I have.  Since that time I
have worked on alot of other rtos based products using other rtos 
environments.

 As a 1st step I thought that I would just try to build the host-based 
solaris version simply to provide a simple
compile-link-test environment to familiarize myself with the 
environment.   If any solaris host based
environment is likely to turn into a big science-project, let me know 
and I'll stop and just move on to
the m68k/mvme162 bsp environment.

Thanks again.
Paul
