Rtems for a space project

[Massimo Tipaldi]

Ralf,

I have followed the following links to install Rtems tools, Rtems and QEMU:
http://www.rtems.com/wiki/index.php/QEMU
http://www.rtems.com/wiki/index.php/MinGW_Tools_for_Windows


Through these pages, I have downloaded the various packages:
MinGW 5.1.3 installer, MSYS Installer 1.0.10, MSYS DTK1.0.0, 
m4-1.4.7-MSYS.tar.bz2 ,  rtems4.9-tools-4.exe, rtems-4.9.1.tar.bz2 and 
examples-4.9.1.tar.bz2,.

 From the RTEMS wiki, I have also downloaded the following files: 
qemu.bat, rtems-boot.img e rtems-grub.cfg.

On my PC, I have Windows 2000 5.00.2195 Service Pack 4.

To install RTEMS:
../rtems-4.9.1/configure --target=i386-rtems4.9 
--prefix=/d/opt/src/rtems/i386
make RTEMS_BSP=”pc386”

I have not tried this on Linux (at the moment, for project's sake, it is 
not required).

In any case, since the hello.exe that comes out of the RTEMS compilation 
is correctly managed by the GRUB (in testsuites/samples), I think that 
the issue is on the hello.exe compiled in the examples-4.9.1.

As you have seen, in oder to compile my hello.exe, I was obliged to 
carry out more than the instructions described on the Rtems manual, 
where only the variable RTEMS_MAKEFILE_PATH is reported to be set: very 
strange...

This executable file is not compliant with the multiboot specification. 
How can I make my hello.exe an ELF file?


Massimo
