You may run these scripts to build a Tiano Cross compiler. They have been
|
||||
tested on Cygwin, OS X and Linux. You should expect to hack on these scripts to
|
||||
make them work on your system. You may need to install additional tools on your
|
||||
system to make the scripts work.
|
||||
|
||||
You will need
|
||||
|
||||
A recent version (3.0 or later should be fine) of gcc that is able to produce
|
||||
executables for the machine that you want to run this compiler on (the host
|
||||
machine).
|
||||
wget or curl
|
||||
tar
|
||||
bzip
|
||||
gzip
|
||||
bash
|
||||
and possibly others

CYGWIN Notes
|
||||
|
||||
You should setup cygwin to use binmode on all mounts. When you initially
|
||||
install cygwin it gives you the choice of Unix file mode (recommended) or DOS
|
||||
file mode. Unix mode will cause all the cygwin directories to be mounted in
|
||||
binmode, while DOS will mount the dirs in textmode. Here is an example of a
|
||||
cygwin install where the dirs are (properly) mounted in binmode.
|
||||
|
||||
C:\cygwin\bin on /usr/bin type user (binmode)
|
||||
C:\cygwin\lib on /usr/lib type user (binmode)
|
||||
c:\workspace on /workspace type system (binmode)
|
||||
C:\cygwin on / type user (binmode)
|
||||
|
||||
If you use textmode, it is likely that the build will fail in a way that is
|
||||
hard to debug.
|
||||
|
||||
Cygwin is pretty slow, so it is not recommended for large builds.
