RTEMS 4.0.0 On-Line Library

Unarchiving the Tools

Getting Started with RTEMS for C/C++ Users

3.3: Unarchiving the Tools

While in the tools directory, unpack the compressed tar files using the following command sequence:

cd tools
tar xzf ../archive/egcs-1.1b.tar.gz
tar xzf ../archive/binutils-2.9.1.tar.gz
tar xzf ../archive/newlib-1.8.0.tar.gz
tar xzf ../archive/c_build_scripts-4.0.0.tgz

After the compressed tar files have been unpacked, the following directories will have been created under tools.

binutils-2.9.1
egcs-1.1b
newlib-1.8.0

There will also be a set of scripts in the current directory which aid in building the tools and RTEMS. They are:

bit
bit_gdb
bit_rtems
common.sh
user.cfg

When the bit script is executed later in this process, it will automatically create two other subdirectories:

src
build-${CPU}-tools

Similarly, the bit_gdb script will create the subdirectory build-${CPU}-gdb and the bit_rtems script will create the subdirectory build-${CPU}-rtems.

The tree should look something like the following figure:

/whatever/prefix/you/choose/
        archive/
            egcs-1.1b.tar.gz
            binutils-2.9.1.tar.gz
            newlib-1.8.0.tar.gz
            rtems-4.0.0.tgz
            c_build_scripts-4.0.0.tgz
            egcs-1.1b-rtems-diff-19981027.gz
            binutils-2.9.1-rtems-diff-19981027.gz
            newlib-1.8.0-rtems-diff-19981027.gz
            hello_world_c.tgz
            bit
        tools/
            binutils-2.9.1/
            egcs-1.1b/
            newlib-1.8.0/
            rtems-4.0.0/
            bit
            bit_gdb
            bit_rtems
            common.sh
            user.cfg
