Error in Installing Autotools 4.10

[Donald Locker]

If your PATH is set correctly, you will have to type ./bootstrap

 "." should never be in a PATH for security reasons.

Is all I need to get it running:

 * MinGW;
 * MSYS;
 * http://www.rtems.org/ftp/pub/rtems/4.10.2/rtems-4.10.2.tar.bz2;
 * Autoconf and Automake;
Prebuilt packages available from here:
ftp://ftp.rtems.org/pub/rtems/mingw32/4.10/rtems-4.10-autoconf/
ftp://ftp.rtems.org/pub/rtems/mingw32/4.10/rtems-4.10-automake/

I didn't find any instructions on how to build these manually? Can you please provide such information?

The instructions for those are on Chris' mingw page

http://wiki.rtems.org/wiki/index.php/MinGW_Tools_for_Windows

…but, download the bz2 file from those directories that don't have -src in their names. Then

cd /c
tar xvfj thenameofyourfile.bz2

And it will extract the pieces into the proper places.

Don't I have to make or compile them for them to be functional (whatever their function is)?

Nope. They are ready to roll.




 * Respective tools for specific CPU?
Yes, at minimum you need the binutils and gcc packages for your the target. Prebuilt packages also available from here:
ftp://ftp.rtems.org/pub/rtems/mingw32/4.10/rtems-4.10-<target>-binutils/
ftp://ftp.rtems.org/pub/rtems/mingw32/4.10/rtems-4.10-<target>-gcc/

Why are you referring to the 4.10 tools? Shouldn't we be using 4.11 already?


A darn good question, and one that has been much on my mind.  Ralf?




Once you get all of the appropriate pieces in place, it still won't compile according to the instructions. You have to do a

bootstrap

in the directory that has the RTEMS source. A side effect of this is that the "configure" script will be created. Only then can you use the "configure" command.

That's as far as I got. I am having major issues with the "make" step not knowing how to make "all".

Ok. How do I "bootstrap" it?

cd into the directory that has your RTEMS distribution (should have folders like c contrib cpukit doc…) and type "bootstrap".

If you don't trust the configuration files that came with the distribution

bootstrap -c
bootstrap
