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-4.7-rtems-base-binutils-2.16.1-3.tar.gz
tar xzf rtems-4.7-sparc-rtems-binutils-2.16.1-3.tar.gz
tar xzf rtems-4.7-rtems-base-gcc-gcc newlib - .tar.gz
tar xzf rtems-4.7-sparc-rtems-gcc-gcc newlib - .tar.gz
tar xzf rtems-4.7-rtems-base-gdb-6.4-2.tar.gz
tar xzf rtems-4.7-sparc-rtems-gdb-6.4-2.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-4.7-rtems-base-binutils-2.16.1-3.tar.bz2
tar xjf rtems-4.7-sparc-rtems-binutils-2.16.1-3.tar.bz2
tar xjf rtems-4.7-rtems-base-gcc-gcc newlib - .tar.bz2
tar xjf rtems-4.7-sparc-rtems-gcc-gcc newlib - .tar.bz2
tar xjf rtems-4.7-rtems-base-gdb-6.4-2.tar.bz2
tar xjf rtems-4.7-sparc-rtems-gdb-6.4-2.tar.bz2

Upon successful completion of the above command sequence, a C/C++ cross development toolset targeting the SPARC is installed in /home/joel/rtems-4.7-work/4.6.99.3/rtemsdocs-4.6.99.3. In order to use this toolset, the directory /home/joel/rtems-4.7-work/4.6.99.3/rtemsdocs-4.6.99.3 must be included in your PATH.
