WinXP / cygwin build problem

Wed Sep 22 19:08:46 UTC 2010

What is the correct procedure for installing the build tools for the
latest from CVS (rtems-4.11) on a cygwin WinXP host?

I downloaded various tools from
ftp://ftp.rtems.org:/pub/rtems/cygwin/4.11 and installed them using:

cd /
tar -jxvf {path}/{tool name.tar.bz2}

I have the tools in my path:

Steven@% echo $PATH
/opt/rtems-4.11/bin:/.:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/usr/
lib/lapack

Steven@% ls -l /opt/rtems-4.11/bin
total 24828K

and the tools are executable:

Steven@% i386-rtems4.11-gcc --version
i386-rtems4.11-gcc (GCC) 4.5.1 20100731 (RTEMS

When I tried to configure RTEMS I got a error:

configure:3786: checking whether the C compiler works
configure:3808: i386-rtems4.11-gcc    conftest.c  >&5
configure:3812: $? = 1

I then tried to use the compiler manually:

Wow.  No file created, no error reported.  Does this look familiar to
anyone?  I usually just build my own tools but thought this once I would
try pre-built.
