Building RTEMS
|
|
==============
|
|
See the file README.configure.
|
|
|
|
|
|
UNCOMPRESSING .tgz FILES
|
|
===========================
|
|
Many of the files found in this directory and its subdirectories
|
|
are gzip'ed, tar archive files. These files have the ".tgz"
|
|
extension. They were compressed with gzip version 1.2.4.
|
|
|
|
Use a command sequence similar to the following to uncompress each
|
|
file:
|
|
|
|
gzcat FILE.tgz | tar xvof -
|
|
|
|
where FILE.tgz is the file to be installed. This procedure will
|
|
extract the files in the archive into the current directory.
|
|
All of the .tgz files associated with this release RTEMS will
|
|
place their contents in a subdirectory rtems- in the current
|
|
directory.
|
|
|
|
If you are unsure of what is in an RTEMS archive file, then use
|
|
the following command sequence to get a listing of the contents:
|
|
|
|
gzcat FILE.tgz | tar tvf -
|
|
|
|
NOTES:
|
|
|
|
(1) The "-o" option to tar is included on the tar command line
|
|
so that the user extracting the tar archive will own the extracted
|
|
files.
|
|
|
|
(2) gzcat is sometimes installed as zcat. Be warned that on many
|
|
(most) UNIX machines, zcat is associated with compress (.Z files).
|
|
|
|
(3) If you do not have gzip 1.2.4, it is available from numerous sites
|
|
including this one. Other sites include ftp.gnu.org and ftp.cdrom.com.
|
|
|
|
(4) The GNU archive files included in this distribution are packaged
|
|
exactly like they are on official GNU ftp sites. When extracting
|
|
GNU archives, they will not extract under a rtems-
|
|
directory. They will extract themselves under a directory which
|
|
is the name and version of the tool in question. For example,
|
|
gcc-2.5.8.tgz will extract its contents into the subdirectory
|
|
gcc-2.5.8.
