Best way to update RTEMS?

[Wu, Mark H.]

Interesting. I'll try those next time. But I did follow the steps below (bootstrap, configure, make), and it didn't resolve the problem. I had to start with a clean directory to get it to work again.

Hello,

in most cases it is enough to run configure with the --enable-mainainer-mode option and then do a "make preinstall" in an existing build tree.  If you get strange errors, then do the below steps.

I decided to update from the git repo, and can't seem to get it rebuilt correctly. What are the correct steps to update my libraries after pulling down from the repo?
