RTEMS 4.11.0 build fails on Windows

[Linda Huxley]

Hi Chris,

The fix recommended by Gedare worked, and my RTEMS tools build completed 
without incident.

Section "5.2.1. RTEMS Tools and Kernel" of the RTEMS User Manual 4.11.99 
ends with the following statement:

"You can now build a 3rd party library or an application as defailted in 
TBD."

But there are no instructions to build the RTEMS kernel within that 
section.  Is that what is intended?

I went back to section "3. Quick Start" for instructions on how to build 
the kernel.  The first command for building the kernel is:

$ export PATH=$HOME/development/rtems/4.12/bin:$PATH

My directory tree is different, so the corresponding command would be:

$ export PATH=/c/opt/rtems/4.11.0/bin:$PATH

But the preceding tools build did not create that directory.  Is that right?

I found the following directory instead:

/c/opt/rtems/4.11.0/rtems/build/tmp/sb-Linda/C/msys64/opt/rtems/4.11.0/bin

So I created the "/c/opt/rtems/4.11.0/bin" directory and I copied the 
contents of the other bin directory into it.  Then I ran the following 
commands:

$ export PATH=/c/opt/rtems/4.11.0/bin:$PATH
$ cd /c/opt/rtems
$ mkdir kernel
$ cd kernel
$ git clone git://git.rtems.org/rtems.git rtems
$ cd rtems
$ ./bootstrap -c && ./bootstrap -p && \
   /c/opt/rtems/4.11.0/source-builder/sb-bootstrap
$ cd ..
$ mkdir erc32
$ cd erc32
$ /c/opt/rtems/kernel/rtems/configure --prefix=/c/opt/rtems/4.11.0 \
   --target=sparc-rtems4.11.0 --enable-rtemsbsp=erc32 --enable-posix
$ make -j 8

However, the final command failed.  The following errors occurred:

In file included from C:/opt/rtems/kernel/rtems/tools/build/cklength.c:27:0:
C:/opt/rtems/kernel/rtems/tools/build/cklength.c: In function 'error':

      extern int errno;
                 ^

Those errors look suspiciously like the problem that I ran into with 
cfns.h.  Is there perhaps a patch or a fix?

Those errors don't terminate the build, but the build fails later with 
the following error:

checking for sparc-rtems4.11.0-gcc... no
configure: error: no acceptable cc found in $PATH

Thanks,

Linda
