i managed to fix the issue and install rtems with msys2. I didnt continue
it any further with cygwin.
i did the following:
1) I changed the machsize line under 'i686' from '32' to '64' in
source-builder/sb/windows.py since the toolchain downloaded for msys2
is as mingw-w64-i686-toolchain
not mingw-w32-i686-toolchain
def load():
# Default to the native Windows Python.
uname = 'win32'
if 'PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE' in os.environ:
if os.environ['PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE'] == 'AMD64':
hosttype = 'x86_64'
machsize = '64'
else:
hosttype = 'i686'
machsize = '64' #'32'
else:
hosttype = 'x86_64'
machsize = '32'
2) i tried installing the rtems 6 arm tools and gave me this:
C:/msys32/mingw32/bin/../lib/gcc/i686-w64-mingw32/10.2.0/../../../../i686-w64-mingw32/bin/ld.exe:
../gnulib/import/libgnu.a(getrandom.o): in function `getrandom':
C:\opt\rtems\rsb\rtems\build\arg6iwm1\build\gnulib\import/../../../sourceware-mirror-binutils-gdb-6427605/gnulib/import/getrandom.c:129:
undefined reference to `BCryptGenRandom at 16'
3) finally i just installed the rtems 5 arm tools and it built successfully
now that i have rtems tools installed I want to use eclipse and be able to
build and install bsps on eclipse, i followed the eclipse manual.
but when i reconfigure the project it returns:
sh -c "/C/opt/rtems/rtemsnew/configure --host=i686-w64-mingw32
--build=i686-w64-mingw32 --target=arm-rtems5

configure: error: BSP 'xen_virtual' not found, run 'rtems-bsps' (in the top
of the source tree) for a valid BSP list
configure: error: BSP 'xen_virtual' not found, run 'rtems-bsps' (in the top

Configuration failed with error
even though i already installed the bsp with msys2 without any issues, i
dont know why running configure from eclipse tells me the bsp is not found.
i also tried this for other bsps and it gave me the same error
