RTEMS/QEMU/GRUB on Windows

[Massimo Tipaldi]

Dear all,

first of all, I wish you all the best for this year.

I am still trying to work RTEMS on Windows. I have followed all the 
advices from Joel and Chris (Rtems 4.9.1 with the related examples and 
RTEMS tools 4.9).

For what concerns the RTEMS installation:
1) with the option "--enable-multilib", the installation fails 
(libnetworking/netinet/.deps/libnetworking_a-if_ether.Po: No such file 
or directory);
2) without the option "--enable-multilib", the installation was 
successfully.
Are there any differences with the option --enable-multilib? Can I 
configure RTEMS without this option?

For what concerns the compilation and execution of Hello_Word via QEMU, 
the issues described in my previous emails remain(see my previous emails 
for more details: the only difference is that RTEMS is now installed in 
d:\opt\src\rtems\i386\):
1) I have to modify the Makefile.inc 
(d:\opt\src\rtems\i386\i386-rtems4.9\c\pc386\make)
2) I have to create the two variables RTEMS_MAKEFILE_PATH and ARCH
3) I have to copy start16.bin into the folder d:/msys1.0/lib

Even though the hello.exe is created, it is not correctly managed by 
QEMU (the "No multiboot header found" message appears).
What I can further add, is that the dimension of my Hello Word is 17 Kb, 
whereas the dimension of the Hello Word that comes from the RTEMS 
compliation (correctly run by QEMU)is about 1 Mb.

Why should I modify the Makefile.inc? Why is not sufficient to set the 
RTEMS_MAKEFILE_PATH variable (as stated in RTMES manuals)? How can I 
produce a Hello Word application manageable by QEMU?

Joel, what does it means that the file hello.ralf should have had 
bin2boot run on it? Should QEMU run somehow this file, instead of 
hello.exe? If yes, how?


Thanks in advance

Massimo
