RTEMS 4.5.0 On-Line Library

Installing binutils

Getting Started with RTEMS for C/C++ Users

Unarchive binutils-2.9.5.0.24.tar.gz following the instructions in Unarchiving the Tools into the /source directory. Apply the appropriate RTEMS specific patch as detailed in Applying RTEMS Patches.
In the /build/binutils directory, execute the following command to configure binutils 2.9.5.0.24:
```
/source/binutils-2.9.5.0.24/configure \
    --verbose --target=m68k-rtems \
    --prefix=/gcc-m68k-rtems --with-gnu-as --with-gnu-ld
```
Replace m68k-rtems with the target configuration of your choice. See Using the bit Script for a list of the targets available.
Execute the following command to compile the toolset:
```
make
```
Install the full package with the following command:
```
make -k install
```
There is a problem with the gnu info package which will cause an error during installation. Telling make to keep going with -k allows the install to complete.
In the cygnus.bat file, add the directory containing the cross-compiler executables to your search path by inserting the following line:
```
PATH=E:\unix\gcc-m68k-rtems\bin;%PATH%
```
You can erase the /build/binutils directory content if disk space is tight.
Exit bash and run cygnus.bat to restart the Cygwin32 environment with the new path.
