3.2.1: Installing Zipped Tar Files

The following is a sample session illustrating the installation of a C/C++ toolset targeting the SPARC architecture assuming that GNU tar is installed as tar for a set of archive files compressed with GNU Zip (gzip):

cd /
tar xzf rtems-4.6-rtems-base-binutils-2.13.2.1-2.tar.gz
tar xzf rtems-4.6-sparc-rtems-binutils-2.13.2.1-2.tar.gz
tar xzf rtems-4.6-rtems-base-gcc-gcc3.2.3newlib1.11.0-3.tar.gz
tar xzf rtems-4.6-sparc-rtems-gcc-gcc3.2.3newlib1.11.0-3.tar.gz
tar xzf rtems-4.6-rtems-base-gdb-5.2-1.tar.gz
tar xzf rtems-4.6-sparc-rtems-gdb-5.2-1.tar.gz

The following command set is the equivalent command sequence for the same toolset assuming that is was compressed with GNU BZip (bzip2):

cd /
tar xjf rtems-4.6-rtems-base-binutils-2.13.2.1-2.tar.bz2
tar xjf rtems-4.6-sparc-rtems-binutils-2.13.2.1-2.tar.bz2
tar xjf rtems-4.6-rtems-base-gcc-gcc3.2.3newlib1.11.0-3.tar.bz2
tar xjf rtems-4.6-sparc-rtems-gcc-gcc3.2.3newlib1.11.0-3.tar.bz2
tar xjf rtems-4.6-rtems-base-gdb-5.2-1.tar.bz2
tar xjf rtems-4.6-sparc-rtems-gdb-5.2-1.tar.bz2

Upon successful completion of the above command sequence, a C/C++ cross development toolset targeting the SPARC is installed in /opt/rtems-4.6. In order to use this toolset, the directory /opt/rtems-4.6 must be included in your PATH.
