4.2.1: Archive and Build Directory Format

When no packaging format requirements are present, the root directory for the storage of source archives and patches as well as for building the tools is up to the user. The only concern is that there be enough disk space to complete the build. In this document, the following organization will be used.

Make an archive directory to contain the downloaded source code and pataches. Additionally, a tools directory to be used as a build directory. The command sequence to do this is shown below:

mkdir archive
mkdir tools

This will result in an initial directory structure similar to the one shown in the following figure:

/whatever/prefix/you/choose/
        archive/
        tools/

The RTEMS Project tries to submit all of our patches upstream to the parent projects. In the event there are patches, the master copy of them is located in the appropriate branch of the RTEMS source module in CVS. Patches are in the contrib/crossrpms/patches.
