Building libbsdport

[Wu, Mark H.]

After some investigation today, it seems that I wasn't paying enough attention when I ran configure. The configure script was failing, namely when it was using the variable "_tillac_rtems_config_dir" to create the subdirectories.

In my configure script (not sure how much changes from installation to installation when you run bootstrap), on lines 4824 and 4983, _tillac_rtems_config_dir is set to [nothing/empty string] if $srcdir starts with a slash (if it was specified with an absolute path). However, in lines 4831-4833 and 5069-5071, it is used as $_tillac_rtems_config_dir/$0. At least for me, under Cygwin, this doesn't work, because my call to /cygdrive/c/... becomes //cygdrive/c/..., which, I'm pretty sure, has Cygwin looking for a network directory. 

I was able to fix it by replacing $_tillac_rtems_config_dir/ with ${_tillac_rtems_config_dir}, and it's building now.

Not sure if this was the *right* solution, since I don't know if it works across all platforms.

I'm trying to install the FXP network drivers (for the pc386 architecture, if it matters). The closest instructions I can find come from this thread:

<https://lists.rtems.org/pipermail/users/2012-March/024954.html>

Where it sounds like I need to install/compile libbsdport. So I got the source from git, and followed the directions in the thread. I have bootstrapped and configured, but when I make, I get the following errors (stripping out the changes of directory):

Making all in i386-rtems4.11
make[2]: *** No rule to make target 'all'.  Stop.
makefile:342: recipe for target 'all-recursive' failed
make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
makefile:282: recipe for target 'all' failed
make: *** [all] Error 2

Is there something I'm missing?

Thanks.

Mark.
